Ye rambling boys of pleasure give ear to those few lines I write

Although I’m a rover and in roving I take great delight

I set my mind on a handsome girl who ofttimes did me slight

But my mind was never easy till my darling were in my sight

It was down by Sally’s Garden

One evening late I took my way

‘Twas there I spied this pretty little girl and those words to me sure she did say

She advised me to take love easy, as the leaves grew on the tree

But I was young and foolish, with my daring could not agree

Sure I wish I was in Dublin town and my true love along with me

With money to support us and keep us in good company

With lots of liquor plentiful flowing bowls on every side

Let fortune never daunt you, my love

We’re both young and the world is wide
