If it’s sung by Male or Female
Indoors or out
House or hall.
With or without a musical accompaniment
Have a listen of these different versions of a favourite of mine
A tale of a young man who just didn’t listen
Down By the Salley Gardens
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 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.

With a forecast like this for next week – I think there’s going to be a couple of stay at home and listen to the band days. . .


What beautiful voices. I do prefer the 2nd one, Peter Hollens because I can hear and understand the words, whilst he stands in the snow. You have given me more music to watch and listen on youtube

I haven’t heard that for years…so thank you! I prefered the musical treatment of the first one.

I feel like I’ve heard this beautiful song before but never knew all the words. Thank you for sharing this with us.
