Shady Grove

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red as blooming rose

And eyes are the prettiest brown

She's the darling of my heart

Sweetest lil' girl in town

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a big fine horse

And corn to feed him on

And Shady Grove to stay at home

And feed him while I'm gone

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away

Went tpo see my Shady Grove

Standing in the door

Her shoes and stockin's in her hand

And her little bare feet on the door

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away

When I was a little boy

I wanted a Barlow knife

Now I want little Shady Grove

To say she'll be my wife

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I say

Shady Grove, my little love

I'm bound to go away
