Story behind the song

I did not write it, but this is our arrangement of the song.

Lyrics

Down by the Salley Gardens, my love and I did meet
she passed the Salley 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 would not agree.

In a field by the river, my love and I did stand
and on my leaning shoulder, she placed her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy as the grass grows on the weir
but I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.
