Story behind the song

Possibly written by a guy that spent a lot of time in the garden department at Home Depot...

Lyrics

It was down by the Sally Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Sally Gardens on little snow-white feet

She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees

But I was young and foolish
And with her did not agree
In a field by the river
My love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder
She placed her snow-white hand

She bid me to take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish
And now am full of tears

It was down by the Sally Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Sally Gardens on little snow-white feet

She bid me to take love easy
As the leaves grow on the trees

But I was young and foolish
And with her did not agree
