Lyrics:
Cheeks as red as a bloomin rose Eyes the prettiest brown
She’s the darlin of my heart Sweetest little girl in town

Shady Grove my little love Shady Grove I know
Shady Grove my little love Bound for Shady grove

The last time I saw Shady Grove She’s standing by the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand Little bare feet on the floor

Every time I pass this way It’s always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that gal I always tell her howdy

Wish I had a glass of wine Bread and meat for two
I’d spread ‘em out on a golden plate Give it all to you

Wish I had a banjo string Made of golden twine
The only song I'd play on it Wish that gal was mine

Some come here to fiddle and dance Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance I came here to marry

Shady Grove my little love Shady Grove I know
Shady Grove my little love Bound for Shady grove

Wish I had a needle and thread As fine as I could sew
I’d sew that gal to my side and down the road I'd go

Peaches in the summertime Apples in the fall
If I can’t have the one I love I don't want none at all

Shady Grove my true love Shady grove I say
Shady grove my true love I'm bound to go away
Bound to go away
