Down by the Salley Gardens

This is for mum and dad

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet
She crossed the Sally Gardens, with little snow-white feet
She bid me to take life easy, as the leaves grow on the trees
But I was young and foolish, and with her, I did not agree

In a field by the river, my love and I did stand
And upon my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand
She bid me to take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet
She bid me to take life easy, as the leaves blow on the tree
But I was young and foolish, and with her, I did not agree
