2. SHADY GROVE (4:22)

SHADY GROVE
- Arr. by The EH

(Chorus)
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Wish I had a great big horse
Corn to feed him on
Pretty little girl to stay at home
To feed him when I’m gone

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Higher up the cherry tree’
Sweeter grows the cherry
Boy you hug and kiss those girls
Sooner they will marry

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Solo

16 miles of country road
18 miles of sand
If I’m coming back this way
I’ll be a married man

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I don’t get the girl I want
I don’t want one at all

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

If I had a needle and thread
Fine as I can sew
Sew that girl to my side
Down the road I go

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Some like to fiddle and dance
Some like to carry
Some like to fiddle and dance
I want to marry

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

When was little boy
I had me a knife
Now i am a grown up man
Looking for a wife

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Shady Grove, Shady grove
Standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
Bare feet on the floor

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m going down to Harlan
