Still Growing- Sung by Harriet Young of West Chinnock, Somerset on 29 December, 1905. Collector: Sharp, Cecil J.

The trees they grow tall and the leaves they are green,
The day is gone and past, my love, that you and I have seen,
It's a cold wind and a winter night for you to lay alone
So my bonny lad is young and he's growing.
