Текст (слова) песни: Joan Baez - Trees They Do Grow High
The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green Many is the time my true love I`ve seen Many an hour I have watched him all alone He`s young, but he`s daily growing
Father, dear father, you`ve done me great wrong You have married me to a boy who is too young I`m twice twelve and he is but fourteen He`s young, but he`s daily growing
Daughter, dear daughter, I`ve done you no wrong I have married you to a great lord`s son He`ll make a lord for you to wait upon He`s young, but he`s daily growing
Father, dear father, if you see fit We`ll send him to college for one year yet I`ll tie blue ribbons all around his head To let the maidens know that he`s married
One day I was looking o`er my father`s castle wall I spied all the boys as playing with the ball My own true love was the flower of them all He`s young, but he`s daily growing
At the age of fourteen, he was a married man At the age of fifteen, the father of a son At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green And death had put an end to his growing
