[F#m]
The trees they do [B] grow high, [A] the leaves they do grow green, [C#m] Men is the time, [F#m] my love I have seen, [Dm] Many [Bm] the hour [A] I watched him all alone, [C#m] His young not his [Bm] daily [F#m] growing.
[E] [F#m]
Father, [Bm] dear father, you've [F#m] done to [A] me great wrong, [C#] You've married me [F#m] to a boy who is too young, [Dm] I'm [Bm] twice twelve [A] and he is but fourteen, [C#m] His young not [Bm] his daily [F#m] growing.
[E] [F#m] Daughter, [B] dear daughter, [F#m] I've done [A] to you no wrong, [C#] I've married you [F#m] to a rich man's son, [D] He'll make a [Bm] lord [A] for you to wait upon, His [C#m] young but his [Bm] daily [F#m] growing.
[E] [F#m]
[E] [F#m] Oh father, [Bm] dear father, [F#m] if in you [A] see fit, [C#m] I'll send him to college [F#m] for one year yet, [D] I'll [Bm] tie blue ribbons [F#m] all [A] around his head, [C#m] To let the maidens [Bm] know [F#m] that he's married.

[E] [F#m] One day while I [Bm] was walking on [A] my father's castle wall, [C#]
I saw the boys they were [F#m] playing with the ball, [Dm]
My own [B] true love was [F#m] the flower [A] of them all, [C#m] His young but his [Bm] daily [F#m] growing.
At the [Bm] age of fifteen [A] he was a married man, [C#m] The age of sixteen [F#m] the father of a son, [D] The [Bm] age of seventeen [F#m] the grass [A] grew over him, [C#m] Cruel death soon [Bm] put an end to [F#m] his growing.
[E] [F#m]
[E] [F#m] The trees they [Bm] do grow high, [F#m] the leaves they [A] do grow green, [C#] Men is the time [F#m] my love I've seen, [D] [Bm] Many the hour I [A] watched him all along, [C#m] His young but his [A] daily growing.
