Young But Growing

Em Am The trees they do grow high Em G The leaves they do grow green Bm Em Many's the time my love I have seen C Am Em G Many the hour, I watched him on the go Bm Am Em He's young but he's daily growing Em Am Father, dear father Em G You've done to me great wrong Bm Em You've married me to a boy who is too young C Am Em G I'm twice twelve and he is but fourteen Bm Am Em He's young but he's daily growing Em Am Daughter, dear daughter Em G I've done to you no wrong Bm Em I've married you to a rich man's son Am G He'll make a Lord for you to wed to borne Bm Am Em He's young but he's daily growing Em Am Oh father, dear father Em G If in you besee-ee fit Bm Em I'll send him to college for one year yet C Am Em G I'll tie blue ribbons all around his head Bm Am Em To let the maidens know that he's married Flute Solo Em Am Em Em Am One day while I was walking Em G On my father's castle wall Bm Em I saw the boys they were playin' with the ball C Am Em G My own true love was the flower of them all Bm Am Em He's young but he's daily growing Em Am At the age of fifteen Em G He was a married man Bm Em The age of sixteen, a father of a son C Am G The age of seventeen, the grass grew over him Bm Am Em Grew that soon put an end to his growing Am The trees they do grow high Em G The leaves they do grow green Bm Em Many's the time my love I have seen C Am Em G Many the hour I watched him all alone Bm Am Em He's young but he's daily growing
