Down by the salley gardens

Down by the salley gardens Lyrics

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,
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 love easy,
as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish,
and now am full of tears.
