come and passed my love, since you and I have been<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a cold and bitter night my love, that I lie here alone<br \/>\nMy bonnie boy was young, but he&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>Oh father dearest father, you did to me what&#8217;s wrong<br \/>\nWhen you married me to my bonnie boy, whose age it was so young<br \/>\nFor he was scarce sixteen years, and I was twenty one<br \/>\nMy bonnie boy was young and growing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh daughter dearest daughter, I did to you no wrong<br \/>\nWhen I married you to your bonnie boy, I knew he was too young<br \/>\nFor he would prove to be a man to you when I was dead and gone<br \/>\nYour bonnie boy was young and growing.<\/p>\n<p>But daughter dearest daughter, I&#8217;ll tell you what I&#8217;ll do<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll send your love to college for another year or two<br \/>\nAnd whilst he is in college, he&#8217;ll wear a ribbon blue<br \/>\nSo the girls will all know that he&#8217;s married.<\/p>\n<p>As I was walking down by the college wall<br \/>\nI spied four-and-twenty college boys all playing with their ball<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s there I spied my own true love, the fairest if them all<br \/>\nMy bonnie boy was young and growing.<\/p>\n<p>And at the age of sixteen he was a married man<br \/>\nAnd at the age of seventeen the father of a son<br \/>\nAt the age of eighteen years, o&#8217;er his grave the grass grew green<br \/>\nCruel death had put an end to his growing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll buy my love a shroud of the oriental brown<br \/>\nAnd whilst I sit and sew it, so my tears they will roll down<br \/>\nI will weep and I will mourn him until the day I die<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;ll rear his bonnie son, while he&#8217;s growing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":981,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions\/981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
