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

[PMS]

Utterly magical performance. Beautiful singer and great Irish melody.

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.

Beautiful voice! I wish I could buy her album. But in Venezuela it is hard to buy things from outside... :(

[thecauldronmildura]

Yates would have approved, Thanks for posting. Regards, The Cauldron

[iradiakalenz]

Well, actually it should be "leaves grow..."
But the rest is incredible!

[Fitzliputzli]

Besides the voice - it is an excellent arrangement also.

Down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet
She crossed the salley gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me to take life easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I was young and foolish
And with her I did not agree
In a field down by the river
My love and I did stand
And upon 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 I am full of tears
It was down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet
She crossed the salley gardens
With little snow-white feet
She bid me to take life easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I was young and foolish
And with her I did not agree

[Jack]

First verse is 'as the leaves grow on the tree'. Second verse is 'as the grass grows on the weirs'

[laughingcorpses]

This is similar to how we’re learning it in choir.
