 SALLY'S GARDEN.

AS down in Sally's gardens

Where me and my true love did meet,

As down in Sally's gardens

where I enjoyed her kiſſes ſweet

She bade me take love eaſy,

juſt as the leaves fall from the tree.

But I being 'young and fooliſh,

my love and I could not agree.

my parents was the cruel cauſe

that I did leave my country town,

My parents had the reaſon,

where fancy led me I did roam.

Where I might had ſweet-hearts plenty,

although their portions were but ſmall,

I might had ſweet hearts plenty

if I could but maintain them all

I'll write a letter to my love,

I'll ſeal it with some ſeal of love,

I'll write a letter to my love,

I'll ſend it with ome turtle dovodove [sic].

And if ſhe does not accept of it,

ſend me an anſwer back again,

I never mobe a ſlave

to the fair female ſex again.
