Down by the salley gardens

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet

She did me take love easy as the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish with her would not agree

In a filed by the river my love and I did stand

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snows-white hand

She bid me take life easy as the grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish and now I am full of tears

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet

She did me take love easy as the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish with her would not agree
