Description
Maura O'Connell (with Karen Matheson) performs W.B. Yeats' Down by the Sally Gardens on Season 2 of BBC/RTE co-production: TransAtlantic Sessions. Lyrics below.
Down by the sally gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the sally 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 did 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.
Repeat #2
