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 bloomin' rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darlin' of my heart
Sweetest 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 to see my Shady Grove
She was standin' in the door
Her shoes and stockin's 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

A kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this ol' world
That's prettier than mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
