Down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley Gardens
With little snow white feet
She bid me take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I being young and foolish
With her did not agree
In a field down by the river
My love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder
She laid her snow white hand
She bid me take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish
And now am full of tears
Down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley Gardens
With little snow white feet
She bid me take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I being young and foolish
With her did not agree
But I was young and foolish
And now am full of tears
