Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Cheeks are like a blooming rose
Eyes of the deepest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
I went to see my Shady Grove
She's standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
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
I wish I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down the street I'd go
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
A pretty girl to stay at home
To feed him when I'm gone
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I want
I don't want none at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
