Shady Grove Lyrics
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Cheeks as red a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in town
Wish I had a glass of wine
And bread and meat for two
I'd set it down on a golden plate
And give it all to you
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
I wish I had me a big fine horse
And the corn to feed him on
Little Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone
When I went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her 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
Now, 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 from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this whole world
That's prettier than mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
