Heather Dale — Down By the Salley Gardens lyrics

Lyrics

It was down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley gardens
With little snow white feet
And she bid me Take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I was 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 life easy
As the grass grows
On the weirs
But I was young and foolish
And now I’m full of tears
Oh I was young and foolish
But now I’m full of tears.
End
