It's was down by the Sally Gardens My love and I did meet She passed the Sally Gardens With little snow white feet She bid me, "Take life easy As the leaves grow on the trees..." 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 love easy As the grass grows on the weirs..." But I was young and foolish And now am full of tears
