My love and i did meet She passed the Salley Gardens On 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 did not agree Far from the peacful village My lover and i did go And to the far horizon She turned her snow white brown She bid me take time easy As the Rrose grows with a thorn But I being young and foolish Did answer her with scorn I a feild down by the river My lover and I did stand And on my leaning shoulder She layed 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
