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 life easy
As the leaves grow on the tree”
But I was young and fool- ish
And with her I did not agree
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
LET HIM GO, LET HIM TARRY
Taylor’s Version
CHORUS
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim.
Well, he doesn't care for me, nor I don't care for him. He can go and find another, and I hope she brings him joy, For I'm going to get me a far nicer boy.

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows Fair is the lily of the valley
Blue is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any
IRISH EYES

I'm a map of the world and the ones before One foot in sea and one on shore Every step, every hope flung high I'm a map of them all with my Irish eyes
BLACK VELVET BAND

Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land; And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black velvet band

DANNY BOY
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
HARD TIMES, COME AGAIN NO MORE
CHORUS
‘Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more. Many days have you lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times come again no more
THE PARTING GLASS
CHORUS
So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
