Down by the sally gardens
   C    G   D     G
My love and I did meet
    G            D     C  G
She passed those sally gardens
   C       D          G
On her two snow white feet
    G   D  C    G    D C G
She bid me take love easy
       C      G    C      G
As the leaves grow on the tree—
    G     D         C   G
But I was young and foolish
         C   G       D    G
And with her I could not agree.

In a field down by the river
My love and I did stand
And upon my weary shoulder
She placed her snow-white hand
She bid me take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs—
But I was young and foolish
And with her I could not agree.
