Shady Grove / Lonesome Traveller

(album: ...from the "Hungry i" - 1959)

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

Lips as red as the blooming rose, eyes of the deepest brown
You are the darling of my heart stay 'til the sun goes down

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

I went to see my Shady Grove standing by the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand little bare feet on the floor

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

I wish'd I had a big fat horse, corn to feed him on
Pretty little girl to stay at home, you feed him when I'm gone

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

Well, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
Well, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
Well, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
I've been a-traveling on

I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys
I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys
I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys
Well, I've been a-traveling on

I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well
I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well
I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well
I've been a-traveling on

Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my traveling, well
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my traveling, well
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my traveling, well
Stop all this traveling on

I'm gonna keep right on a-traveling on that road to freedom
I'm gonna keep right on a-traveling on that road to freedom
I'm gonna keep right on a-traveling on that road to freedom
Well, I've been a-traveling on
