lyrics

Shady Grove

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest girl in town

And if I had a glass of wine
Bread and meat for two
I'd set it out on a golden plate
and give it all to you

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
But now I want little Shady Grove
to say she'll be wife

A kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is as sweet as brandy wine
There ain't no girl in this whole world
that's prettier than mine

Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I once had a muley cow
Muley she was born
Took a jaybird forty years
to fly from horn to horn

Fly around my pretty little miss
Fly around my daisy
Fly around my pretty little miss
You know you drive me crazy

Peaches in the summertime
Peaches in the fall
If I can't have little Shady Grove
I'll have no love at all

And if I had a needle and thread
as fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
and down the road we'd go

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
