Down by the Sally Gardens Maura OConnell with Karen Matheson

Maura O Connell (with Karen Matheson) performs W. B. Yeats Down by the Sally Gardens on Season 2 of BBC, RTE coproduction: TransAtlantic Sessions. Lyrics below. Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the sally gardens with little snowwhite feet. She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I being young and foolish with her I did not agree. In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snowwhite 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.
