Generate meaning
1
Oh, father, dear father, you have done me wrong,
2
You have married me to a boy that's much too young
3
He is only 16 years, and I am 21
4
Oh, my darling boy is young
5
But he's growing
6
Oh, my darling boy is young
7
But he's growing
8
For, at the age of 16, he was a married man
9
At the age of 17, father of a son
10
At the age of 18 years, my love was dead and gone
11
The green grass put an end to his growing
12
That green grass put an end to his growing
13
So I will go to my love's grave and I'll sit by his side
14
I'll pick my love some flowers and sow my love some shroud
15
And every stitch I'll put in, his tears, they will fall down
16
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
17
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing
18
For the trees he knew grew higher and the leaves did go green
19
The days have passed and gone, my love, that you and I have seen
20
It's a cold winter's night, my love, that I must pass alone
21
But I'll watch over his son
22
While he's growing
23
But I'll watch over his son
24
While he's growing
25
But I'll watch over his son
26
While he's growing
