Young But Daily Growing

歌詞

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 An' he will be a man to you when I am dead and gone 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 He was young but he was daily growin' At the age of sixteen years, he was a married man At the age of seventeen, he was the father 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' Ah, the springtime is leavin' now as summer's comin' 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'
