It was also the 19th century equivalent of a "lovers' lane" where the young folk would go to be alone. An Irish folk song. The song was also a big hit for Maura O'Connell And Karen Matheson.​Down by the Sally gardens piano letter notes for beginners now added plus the violin tab showing where to place your fingers on each string for every note played.

It[D] was down by the[A] Sally[G] Gar[D]dens, my[G] love and[A] I did[D] meet.
She[D] crossed the[A] Sally[G] Gardens[D] with[G] little [A]snow-white[D] feet.
She[D] bid me[G] take love[A] easy, as the[Bm] leaves grow[G] on the[D] tree,
But I was[A] young and[Bm] fool[A]ish, and with[G] her did[A] not agr[D]ee.

In a field down 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.

Down by the Sally Gardens, my love and I did meet.
She crossed the Sally Gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree,
But I was young and foolish, and with her did not agree.

Here are the easy guitar chords that Orla Fallon sings in
[G]down [C]by the[G] Sally[F]Gar[C]dens, my[F]love and I did[C] meet.
She[C] crossed the[G]Sally[F]Gar[C]dens with[F] little [G]snow-white[C] feet.
[G]She[C] bid me[F] take love[G]ea[C]sy, as the[F] leaves grow[G] on [C]the[F] tree[C],
[C]But I was[G] young and[F]fool[C]ish, and with[F] her did[G] not a[C]gree.

[C]In a field down [G]by the [F]riv[C]er, my [F]love and [G]I did [C]stand
[C]And on my [G]leaning [F]shoul[C]der, she [F]laid her [G]snow-white [C]hand.
[G]She bid [C]me [F]take life [G]eas[C]y , as the [F]grass grows [G]on the [C]weirs
But [C]I was [G]young and [F]fool[C]ish, and [F]now am [G]full of [C]tears.
