Young But Daily Growing Bob Dylan & The Band

[Verse 1]
He's young but he's daily growin'
Oh, daughter, dearest daughter
I have done you no wrong
I've wed you to none other than a wealthy man's son
And he will be a man to you when I am dead and gone

[Verse 2]
He's young but he's daily growin'
For out one day as I was walkin' all alone
Down by the school wall
I saw the boys, they were playin' at the ball
And my own true love was the fairest of them all

[Verse 3]
He was young but he was daily growin'
At the age of sixteen years, he was a married man
At the age of sеventeen, he was the fathеr of a son
At the age of eighteen years round his graves the grass grew long
Cruel death has put an end to his growin'

[Verse 4]
Ah, the springtime is leavin' now as summer's coming on
With ornaments and fans, the ladies all pass on
Oh, it's once I had a true love, but now I have none
But I watch his bonnie son while he's growin'
