Lyrics Down by the Sally Gardens - The Irish Rovers

Down by the Sally Gardens

Down by the Sally gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Sally gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me talke love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I being young and foolish
With her I 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 wier
But I was young and foolish
And now I am full of tears
Farewell unto Lord Antrim’s groves
Likewise to the bleaching green
Where the linen cloth lies pure and white
And clear is the crystal stream
Where many’s the pleasant day I spent
But, alas, now they are o’er
Since the girl I love has banished me
Far, far from the Morrlough shore
Oh, I was young and foolish
And now I am full of tears
