Lyrics:

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet (deep in the salley gardens (where my love and I met)

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet (her snow-white feet walked towards the end of the garden.)

she bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree (She bid me take love easy, like the new green sprouting on the branches.)

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree (But I was young and ignorant and unwilling to accept her inner words.)

In a filed by the river my love and I did stand (In the wilderness by the river in the distance, my love stood side by side with me.)

p>

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snows-white hand (On my slightly leaning shoulder, she laid her snows-white hand.)

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs (She asked me to live indifferently, like grass growing on the embankment.)

But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears (But I was young and ignorant, now But my clothes were full of tears)

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet (deep in the salley gardens, my love and I once met.)

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet (Her snow-white feet walked towards the end of the garden.)

she bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree (She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree) It is as simple as the new green sprouting on the branches. )

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree (But I was young and ignorant, and unwilling to accept her inner voice.)
