Sally Gardens

Oh you rambling boys of pleasure give ear to these few lines I write

Although I'm a rover and in roving I take great delight

I set my mind on a handsome girl who oft times did me slight

But my mind was never easy till my darling were in my sight

It was down by the Sally Garden one evening late I took my way

It was there I spied this pretty girl and those to me she did say

She said take love easy as the leaves grow on the tree

But I was young and foolish with my darling could not agree

The very next time I saw my love sure I thought her heart was mine

But as the weather changes Oh my love she changed her mind
