\beginchorus
It was \[D]down by the \[A]Sally \[G]Gar\[D]dens,
My \[G]love and \[A]I did \[G]meet.
She \[D]passed the \[A]Sally \[G]Gar\[D]dens
with \[G]little \[A]snow-white \[D]feet.
She \[D]bid me \[G]take love \[A]easy,
As the \[Bm]leaves grow \[G]on the \[D]tree.
But I was \[A]young and \[Bm]foo\[A]lish,
and \[G]with her did \[A]not ag\[D]ree.
\endchorus

\beginverse
In a field down 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.
\endverse
