Down by the Salley Gardens Lyrics

It was down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley gardens
With little snow white feet
And she bid me
Take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I was young
And foolish
And 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 I'm full of tears
Oh I was young and foolish
But now I'm full of tears.
