Sally Gardens.

(Words by WB YEATS 1889. Tune Traditional:“Maids of Mourne
Shore”)


It was down by the Sally Gardens
My love and I did meet
She crossed the Sally Gardens
On 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 did not agree

In a field down by the river
My love and I did stand
And upon my leaning shoulder
she placed her snow white hand

She bid me take life easy
As the grass grows on the lea
But I was young and foolish
With her did not agree

It was down by the Sally Gardens
My love and I did meet
She crossed the Sally Gardens
On little snow white feet

She bid me take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I was young and foolish
And now I’m full of tears
