Shady Grove lyrics
Cheeks as red as a bloomin rose
Eyes the darkest brown
She's the darlin of my heart
Sweetest little thing in town
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove my little love
I'm bound to go away
Well I went to see my little Shady Grove
She was standin in the door
Her shoes and socks were in her hand
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
Now when I was a little bitty boy
I wanted me a Barlow knife
Now I want a little Shady Grove
I want her to be my wife
Said Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a goin away
There's peaches in the summertime
There's apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I love
I won't have none at all
Well have you seen the mournful dove
Flyin from pine to pine
She's mournin for her own true love
Like I mourn for mine
Singing Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a go'd away
Said Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove my little love
I'm a go'd away
