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 leaves grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree.

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.
