DOWN BY THE SALLEY GARDENS

LISTEN! Midi

Lyrics by W.B.Yeats
A salley is a willow tree.

1. 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 tree,
But I being young and foolish, with her did not agree.
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 am full of tears.
