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 life the prettiest girl in town

Chorus:

Shady Grove my little love…

I went to see little Shady Grove she was standin in the door

With shoes and stalkings in her hand and her little bare feet on the floor

Chorus:

Shady Grove my little love…

I wish I had a big fine horse and the corn to feed him on

And pretty little Shady Grove to feed him when I’m gone

Chorus:

Shady Grove…

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

Chorus:

Shady Grove…

A kiss from sweet little Shady Grove is sweet as brandy wine

And there ain’t no girl in this whole world that’s prettier than mine

Chorus:

Shady Grove…
