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 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 <-3>
