[Verse 1]
The trees they grow so high, and the leaves they grow so green
The day is past and gone, my love, that you and I have seen
It's a cold winter's night, my love, when I must bide alone
For my bonny boy is young but a-growin'
[Verse 2]
As I was out a-walkin' by yonder garden wall
I saw four and twenty boys a-playin' at the ball
I asked for my own true love but they'd not let him come
For my bonny boy is young and a-growin'
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Verse 3]
'O father, dearest father, you've done to me much wrong
You've tied me to a boy when you know he is too young'
'O daughter, dearest daughter, if you'll wait a little while
A lady you will be, while he's growin'
[Verse 4]
'We'll send your love to college, all for a year or two
And then perhaps in time the boy will be a man for you
I'll buy you white ribbons to tie about his waist
To let the ladies know that he's married'
