Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
She did me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree
In a filed by the river my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snows-white hand
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
She did me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet

She did me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snows-white hand
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
She did me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
