Shady Grove

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Cheeks as red as blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest lil' girl in town
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
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
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Went to see my Shady Grove
Standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand
And her little bare feet on the door
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
Now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
