Lyrics

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet
She bid me take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree
But I being young and foolish with her I did not agree
In a field by the river my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder she placed 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 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 bid me take love easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears
Written by: Jerry Douglas, Maura O'Connell, William Butler Yeats
