[Roud 386; Ballad Index FowM059; VWML FK/18/252/1, CJS2/10/1159, CJS2/9/1155; Bodleian Roud 386; trad.]. W.B. Yeats' poem and the resulting song Down by the Salley Gardens are based on this work.
You rambling boys of pleasure, Give ear unto these lines I write. I own I am a rover, In rambling I take great delight. I cast my mind on a handsome girl, Though oftentimes she does me slight, My mind is never easy Except when my true love is in my sight.
