Cheeks as red as the blooming rose Eyes of the deepest brown You are the darling of my heart Stay till she sun goes down Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I say Shady Grove, my little love I'm going to leave you here Shady Grove my little love Standin' in the door Shose and stockin's in her hand I'm bound to go away Shady Grove my little love Standin' in the door Shose and stockin's in her hand And her little bare feet on the floor Wish I had a big, fine horse And the Corn to feed him on And Shady Grove to stay at home And feed him while I'm gone I used to have an old banjo The strings were made of twine The only song that it would play Was "Trouble on my Mind". Peaches in the summertime Apples in the fall If I can't have the girl I love I won't have none at all. Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I say Shady Grove, my little love Don't wait till Judgment Day
