Shady Grove

(Album: Fiddle Tune X - 2014)

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in towm

If I had a big fine horse
And green 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

A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove
Is as sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this whole world
Prettier than mine

Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

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
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

Peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I can't have my Shady Grove
I don't have none at all

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
