[Verse 1]
       Em                                                  Bm
Oh the trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green,
    Bm                                A
And many's the cold winter's night my love and I have seen.
     G                D                  Em           Bm
On a cold winter's night my love you and I alone have been.
      Bm    Em     A              Em
Oh my bonny boy is young but he's growing,
G        D
Growing, growing,
   Em           Bm             Em
My bonny boy is young but he's growing


[Verse 2]
    Em                                          Bm
"Oh father, dear father, you've done to me much harm,
       Bm                       A
For to go and get me married to one who is so young.
    G          D                 Em          Bm
For he is only sixteen years and I am twenty-one,
      Bm    Em     A              Em
Oh my bonny boy is young but he's growing,
G        D
Growing, growing,
   Em           Bm             Em
My bonny boy is young but he's growing."


[Verse 3]
    Em                                               Bm
"Oh daughter, dear daughter, I'll tell you what I'll do,
     Bm                             A
I'll send your love to college for another year or two.
    G              D                Em           Bm
And all around his college cap I'll tie a ribbon blue,
       Bm      Em     A              Em
For to let the ladies know that he's married,
G        D
Married, married,
   Em             Bm             Em
To let the ladies know that he's married."


[Verse 4]
    Em                                     Bm
Now at the age of sixteen he was a married man,
    Bm                          A
And at the age of seventeen the father to a son,
    G             D            Em              Bm
And at the age of eighteen the grass grew over him.
      Bm         Em     A          Em
Cruel death soon put an end to his growing,
G        D
Growing, growing,
      Em                Bm         Em
Cruel death soon put an end to his growing.


[Verse 5]
    Em                                        Bm
And now my love is dead and in his grave doth lie,
    Bm                            A
The green grass grows over him so very very high.
     G            D                 Em            Bm
I'll sit here and mourn his death until the day I die
         Bm        Em       A                Em
And I'll watch all o'er his child while he's growing,
G        D
Growing, growing,
     Em                 Bm               Em
I'll watch all o'er his child while he's growing.
