Lyrics - Down By The Salley Gardens by Oconnell Maura

Down by the salley gardens my love and
I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with her 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 would not agree.
In a field 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.
