Down By The Sally Gardens Lyrics - John Rutter

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
