Text from a site with the singer's claims.

"You are viewing Down By The Salley Gardens lyrics written by Oconnell Maura.

Down By The Salley Gardens lyrics in KOvideo are property of respective authors, artists and labels. If you want to use these lyrics, please contact the authors, artists or labs. If you like the sound of Down By The Salley Gardens lyrics, please buy the cd to support Oconnell Maura."

I'm not putting links to sites, all in the same name, because they seem to be a bit iffy, apart from the copyright claims. One, however, has had a challenge, and removed the lyrics.

As for the Seekers. they seem to have been trying to prevent people singing any version, either theirs, or any variant.
