Still Growing- Sung by Wilson Champ of Harptree, Somerset on January 12, 1905. Collector: Sharp, Cecil J.
Now the trees they did grow high
and the leaves they did grow green
And the days they are gone and past my love that you and I have seen,
Many a cold winter's night, when you and I alone have been,
When our bonny lad is young but he's growing.
