Lyrics by :William Butler Yeats
Composed by :Traditional
Arranged by :Maire Brennan /Ciaran Brennan /Noel O Duggan /Padraig O Duggan /Pol Brennan
Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet
She passed the sally gardens with little snow-white feet
She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees
But I being young and foolish
With her would not agree
In a field by the river my love
And I did stand
And on her leaning shoulder
She laid her snow-white hand
She bid me to take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish
And now I am full of tears
Down by the sally gardens my love
And I did meet
She passed the sally gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees
But I being young and foolish
With her would not agree
