abstract
  • %22The Trees They Grow So High%22 is a British folk song (Roud 31, Laws O35). The song is known by many titles, including %22The Trees They Do Grow High%22, %22Daily Growing%22, %22Young But Daily Growing%22 and %22Bonny Boy is Young (But Growing)%22.A two-verse fragment of the song is found in the Scottish manuscript collection of the 1770s of David Herd. This was used by Robert Burns as the basis for his poem %22Lady Mary Ann%22 (published 1792). The subject of the song is an arranged marriage of a young girl by her father to a boy who is even younger than she. There are numerous versions of both the tune and lyrics. In one set of lyrics the groom is twelve when he marries and a father at 13.According to Roud and Bishop:%22Judging by the number of versions gathered in the major manuscript collections and later sound recordings, this song has been a firm favourite with singers in Britain, Ireland and North America for a long time, the wording varies surprisingly little across the English versions and the story is always the same, and these probably derive from nineteenth-century broadside printings, of which there are many.%22
