bob dylan - poor lazarus lyrics

Loading...

oh the trees they grow tall and the leaves they are
green.
and many a time my true love i’ve seen.
and many a night how i walked all alone
when my johnny was a long time a-growin’.

i remember so well over my father’s wall
i heard the boys a-singin’, i could hear them dancin’
call.
and my own true love was the fairest of them all
he’s young but he’s daily a-growin’.

oh father, dear father, you’ve done me great wrong,
you’ve married me off to a boy that’s much too young.
oh, i am twice twelve, and he’s but fourteen.
he’s young but he’s daily growin’.

oh daughter, dear daughter, i have done you no wrong.
i’ve married you to a rich man’s son.
for he will be a lord for you to wait upon.
yes, he’s young but he’s daily a-growin’.

at the age of fourteen he was a married man
at the age of fifteen the father of a son
at the age of sixteen, his grave it was green
and death put a stop to his growin’.

but he born me one son, so i can p-ss the time
watchin’ my boy rise to grow a year
an’ i will watch him rise till he’s become a man.
he’s young now but he’s daily a-growin’.
