Bill Whelan - Down By The Salley Gardens lyrics

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet She pa**ed the Salley gardens with little snow-white feet She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree In the 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 gra** grows on the weirs But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears
