[Verse 1]
Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet
She passed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the trees
But I being young and foolish, with her would not agree
With her would not agree

[Verse 2]
In a field down by the river, my love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder, she laid her snow-white hand
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears
And now I am full of tears

[Verse 3]
Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet
She passed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the trees
But I being young and foolish, and with her would not agree
And with her would not agree
