Generate meaning
1
The trees they grow high,
2
The leaves they do grow green
3
Many is the time my true love I've seen
4
Many an hour I have watched him all alone
5
He's young,
6
But he's daily growing
7
Father, dear father,
8
You've done me great wrong
9
You have married me to a boy who is too young
10
I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen
11
He's young,
12
But he's daily growing
13
Daughter, dear daughter,
14
I've done you no wrong
15
I have married you to a great lord's son
16
He'll make a lord for you to wait upon
17
He's young,
18
But he's daily growing
19
Father, dear father, if you see fit
20
We'll send him to college for one year yet
21
I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head
22
To let the maidens know that he's married
23
One day I was looking o'er my father's castle wall
24
I spied all the boys aplaying with the ball
25
My own true love was the flower of them all
26
He's young, but he's daily growing
27
At the age of fourteen, he was a married man
28
At the age of fifteen, the father of a son
29
At the age of sixteen, his grave it was green
30
And death had put an end to his growing
