One of the loveliest versions of this song I have ever heard; reminds me of when my own dear mother would sing it for me when I was a boy.

Down by the Salley Gardens is a well-known Irish folk song - just one of the collection arranged by Benjamin Britten, and published in 1943. Words by William Butler Yeats telling of leaves, grass, natural imagery, and a tragic story of young love bring this music to life

Stunning in it's simplicity, possibly a definitive performance of this favourite song.

Memories of my old dad's party piece at New Year, miss him..

Simply sublime, my two favourite singers in one place. Perhaps an album should be made together?

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
