Salley Gardens

Down by the sunny gardens

My love and I did meet

She passed the sunny gardens

With lily snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy

As the leaves grew on the trees

Was I being young and foolish

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

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
