Salley Gardens Lyrics

It was down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet
She crossed the Salley Gardens with her little snow-white feet
She bid me to 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 down by the river, my love and I did stand
And upon my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand
She bid me to take life easy as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish and now I am full of tears

It was down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet
She crossed the Salley Gardens with her little snow-white feet
She bid me to take love easy as the leaves grow on the tree
But I was young and foolish and with her did not agree
