It was 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 and 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
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 and with her did not agree
