Shady Grove Lyrics

Bill Staines Shady Grove

Red Fox jump into my path, shining in the sun
Then he gave me a little laugh, flipped his tail and run
Blackbird drinking in the water grass, twinkle in her eye
Feathers shine all purple and green, then away she flies
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love, I'll be back someday
Looking for the one I love, could that one be you?
Looking for the one I love, one who loves me true
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love, you're the one I'm calling
Do not touch the columbine, just leave it in the sun
It'll fade right in your hand, now see what you have done
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love, you're the one I'm calling
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love, I'll see you some day
