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
