Down By the Salley Gardens

Down by the Salley Gardens - Maura O'connell

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 life easy

As the leaves grow on the trees

But I being young and foolish

With her I did not agree

In a field by the river

My love and I did stand

And on my healing shoulder

She laid her snow white hand

She bid me take love easy

As the grass grows on the weeds

But I was young and foolish

And now I'm 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 grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish

And now I'm full of tears
