Down by the salley garden
My love and I did meet;
She passed the salley garden
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 fie-ld 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

This is so well sung. It's not an easy song to do, at least in my experience. This is such a lovely rendition! Very admirable!

They make it look too easy but its not. My dad said that you need a teacher coaching you, a degree, and a talent.
