Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove I say Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound to go away Cheeks as red a a blooming rose And eyes are the prettiest brown She's the darling of my heart Sweetest girl in towm 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 Went to see my Shady Grove She was standing in the door Her shoes and stockin's in her hand And her little bare feet on the floor When I was a little boy I wanted a Barlow knife And now I want little Shady Grove To say she'll be my wife A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove Is sweet as brandy wine And ther ain't no girl in this old world That's's prettier than mine Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove I say Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound to go away
