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 trees,
But I being young and foolish,
With her did not agree,

In a field by the river,
My love and I did stand,
And on my healing shoulder,
She laid her snow white hand,
She bid me take love easy,
As the grass grows on the weeds,

But I was young and foolish,
And now I’m 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 leaves grow on the trees,
But I was young and foolish,
And with her did not agree,
