Down by the salley gardens

My love and i did meet

She crossed the salley 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 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
