[00:00.00]Bonnie Boy Is Young - Judy Collins
[00:12.29]The trees they grow tall
[00:15.90]The grass is growing green
[00:20.03]Many a cold and winter night that I alone have been
[00:27.14]It is a cold and cruel night when I must lie alone
[00:34.82]The Bonny Boy is young but he is growing
[00:45.60]Oh father dear father I think you done me wrong
[00:53.15]To go and get me married to one who is so young
[01:01.58]For he is only sixteen years and I am twenty one
[01:08.69]The bonny boy is young but he's growing
[01:20.18]Oh daughter dear daughter I did not do you wrong
[01:27.60]For I have married you to a rich man's son
[01:35.31]And he shall be a match for thee when I am dead and gone
[01:44.11]He is young but he is daily growing
[01:54.83]Oh father dear father I'll tell you what I'll do
[02:01.88]I'll send the boy to college for another year or two
[02:09.19]And all around his college cap I'll bind a ribbon blue
[02:17.17]For to let the ladies know that he's married
[02:29.10]A year it went by and I passed the college wall
[02:36.14]And saw the young collegians a playing at the ball
[02:43.82]Amidst them was my own true love
[02:48.38]The fairest of them all
[02:52.06]He was young but he was daily growing
[03:03.48]At the age of sixteen he was a married man
[03:10.40]And at the age of seventeen he was the father of a son
[03:18.01]At the age of eighteen his grave had all grown green
[03:26.69]And the death put an end to his growing
[03:37.33]I'll make my love a shroud of ornamental brown
[03:44.75]And whilst I am a making it the tears they will run down
[03:53.18]For once I had my own love now he's lying low
[04:00.71]And I'll nurse his bonny boy while he's growing
