G D G C G C/G G Daughter, dearest daughter, I have done you no wrong Em G D I've wed you to non other than a wealthy man's son G C G Em C G C/G G And he will be a man to you when I am dead and gone G D G C/G G He's young but he's daily growin' Ah, one day as I was walking all alone down by the schoolwall I saw the boys, they were playing 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 grave the grass grew long Cruel death had put an end to his growin' Oh, the springtime is leavin' now, and summer's comin' on With ornaments and fans the ladies all pass on Oh yes, once I had a true love, but now I have none. But I'll watch his bonnie son, while he's growin. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsC D Em G |
