Over deze songtekst:
Volgens de Engelse Wikipedia:
It has been suggested that the location of the "Salley Gardens" was on the banks of the river at Ballysadare near Sligo where the residents cultivated trees to provide roof thatching materials. "Salley" or "sally" is a form of the Standard English word "sallow", i.e., a tree of the genus Salix.
Sallow in het Nederlands is een boswilg.
Het lied is een bewerking van het gelijknamige gedicht van William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939).
Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet I passed the Salley Gardens so gently on my feet I bid him take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree But he being young and foolish with me would not agree In a field down by the river my love and I did stand And on his leaning shoulder I gently laid my head I bid him take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs But he was young and foolish, and now he's full of tears Down by the Salley Gardens my love and I did meet I passed the Salley Gardens so gently on my feet I bid him take life easy, as the leaves grow on the tree But he being young and foolish with me would not agree
