down by the sally gardens

Clannad

Down by the sally gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the sally gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees
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 her leaning shoulder
She laid her snow-white hand
She bid me to take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish a
Nd now I am full of tears

Down by the sally gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the sally gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees
But I being young and foolish
With her would not agree
