(chorus)



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



(chorus)

(break)



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



(chorus)

(break)



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



(chorus)

(break)



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)

(break)



A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove

Is sweet as brandy wine

And ther ain't no girl in this old world

Thats's prettier than mine



(chorus)
