The Sally Gardens.
Words: W. B. Yeats 1889
Tune:Maids of the Mourne Shore, TRAD.
It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
As she walked through the Sally Gardens in her beautiful snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the wind blows through the trees.
Ahh, but I've been young and foolish, with her did not agree.
It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
As she walked around the Sally Gardens in her beautiful snow-white feet.
She bid me take life easy as the water ran the weir.
Ahh, but I've been young and foolish, and now I'm full of tears.
It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She walked around the Sally Gardens in her beautiful snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the wind blows through the trees.
Ahh, but I've been young and foolish, with her did not agree.
Ahhhhhh.
Ahh, but I've been young and foolish, with her did not agree.

Original Lyrics:
It was down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree.
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.
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.
Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree.
ut I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.
