1.Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet; she passed the Salley Gardens with little snowwhite feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow an the tree; but I being young and foolish, with her would not agree. 2.In a field down by the river my love and I did stand and on my leaning shoulder she laid her snowwhite 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.
