Shady Grove Lyrics

Introduction
horus
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 blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in town
horus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Instrumental
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
horus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Instrumental
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
horus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Instrumental
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
horus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Instrumental
Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mine
horus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
dditional Verses
Wish I had a glass of wine
And bread and meat for two
I'd set it out on a golden plate
And I'd give it all to you
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have little Shady Grove
I don't want no gal at all
If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I can sew
I'd sew my pretty girl to my side
And down the road we go
