Stower	The trees they do grow high: medieval? (101* d)	RE: The trees they do grow high: medieval?	18 Feb 16
Hello, Mrr. I wonder what your specific interest is in the detail. If you can say, we may be able to answer your question more precisely. As I see it, the line you mention is one of those standardised wordings in traditional song that appears in many otherwise unrelated ballads, like the rolling eye, the slender waist, going to a lonesome valley, etc., etc.
