Down by the salley gardens, my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens, with little snow-
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I being young and foolish, 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-
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.
