Down By The Sally Gardens

A traditional Irish melody.
Although the words are in a poem by W B Yeats in a publication of 1889, a song called "The Rambling Boys of Pleasure" dating back to the 18th century is very much the same tune. It' s first verse goes It's down in the Sally's garden, O, there hangs rosies three.
Yeats must have found inspiration in these lines and rewrote and undoubtedly improved the original.
The air is " The Maid Of Mourne Shore" .
