Traditional: The Salley Gardens

The Salley Gardens - Andreas Scholl/Stacey Shames/Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

Down by the Sally Gardens

My love and I did meet

She crossed the Sally 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 down 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

Down by the Sally Gardens

My love and I did meet
