Down By The Salley Garden Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

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 life easy 

As the leaves grow on the trees. 

But I being young and foolish, 

With her did not agree. 

In a field by the river 

My love and I did stand. 

And on my healing shoulder 

She laid her snow white hand. 

She bid me take love easy 

As the grass grows on the weeds. 

But I was young and foolish 

And now I'm full of tears. 

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 trees, 

But I was young and foolish 

And with her did not agree.
