Lyrics Down By The Salley Gardens - Celtic Woman

Down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet
I passed the salley gardens
So gently on my feet
I bid him take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But he being young and foolish
With me not want agree

In a field down by the river
My love and I did stand
And on his leaning shoulder
I gently laid my hand
I bid him take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
But he was young and foolish
And now he is full of tears

Down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet
I passed the salley gardens
So gently on my feet
I bid him take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But he being young and foolish
With me he not want agree
