The Bonny Lad- Sung by Lucy White of Hambridge, Somerset on April 18, 1905. Collected by Cecil Sharp.
The trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green
The time is gone and past my love that you and I have seen,
It's a cold and winter's night, my love, when you and I must bide,
The bonny lad was bonny but a-growing.
