Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
Eyes of the deepest brown
You are the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down
Shady grove my little love
Shady grove I know
Shady grove my little love
Bound for the shady grove
Went to see my shady grove
She's standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hands
Little bare feet on the floor
Shady grove my little love
Shady grove I know
Shady grove my little love
Bound for the shady grove
Wished I had a big fine horse
Corn to feed him on
Pretty little girls stay at home
Feed him when I'm gone
Shady grove my little love
Shady grove I know
Shady grove my little love
Bound for the shady grove
