a long time a-growin' - bob dylan lyrics
oh the trees they do grow tall an’ the leaves are green
and there’s many a day that you an’ i have seen
but once i had a true love, but now i walk alone
he’s a bonnie lad, he’s daily growing.
oh, father, dearest father, you’ve done me great wrong
you’ve married me to a boy who is much too young
oh, i’m twice twelve, an’ he’s but fourteen.
he’s a bonnie lad, he’s young but he’s growin’.
oh, father, dearest father, oh ain’t it pleased as you
i’ll send my male to a school for a year or two
and don’t talk of his college cap, he’ll wear a ribbon
ball
so that the other girls might know that he’s married.
one day when i was walking all alone down by the school
wall
i saw the boys were playin’ at the bouncin’ of the ball
an’ my own true love was the fairest of them all
he’s a bonnie lad, he’s daily growing.
at the age of fourteen he was a married man
at the age of fifteen the father of a son
at the age of sixteen his grave, the gr-ss grew green
cruel death had put an end to his growin’.
i’ll buy my love a shroud of ornamental ground
and place it on his grave, oh the tears come trippling
down.
for once i had a true love but now i have not.
but i’ll watch his bonnie son while he’s a-growin’.
