Shady Grove Lyrics

Takenobu Shady Grove

[Verse 1]
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I don't want none at all

[Chorus]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

[Verse 2]
I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
And ever tune I played on it
I wish that girl was mine

[Chorus]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

[Verse 3]
I wish I had a needle and thread
The finest that could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go

[Chorus]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

[Verse 4]
Cheeks as red as the bloomin' rose
Eyes of the prettiest brown
She is the darling of my heart
The prettiest girl in town

[Chorus]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

[Verse 5]
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I came here to marry

[Chorus]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

[Outro]
Shady Grove
My little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
