Down by the Sally Gardens - The Irish Rovers

Down by the Sally gardens

My love and I did meet

She passed the Sally gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me talke love easy

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish

With her I 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 wier

But I was young and foolish

And now I am full of tears

Farewell unto Lord Antrim’s groves

Likewise to the bleaching green

Where the linen cloth lies pure and white

And clear is the crystal stream

Where many’s the pleasant day I spent

But, alas, now they are o’er

Since the girl I love has banished me

Far, far from the Morrlough shore

Oh, I was young and foolish

And now I am full of tears
