Traditional: The Salley Gardens |
Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet. |
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet. |
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree, |
But I was 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 Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet. |
