 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 would not agree 
 
 In a field 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
