Shady Grove Lyrics

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love,

I"m bound to go away

VERSE 1:

Cheeks are like a blooming rose,

Eyes of the deepest brown

She"s the darling of my heart

Stay till the sun goes down.

CHORUS:

Verse 2:

I went to see my Shady Grove

She"s standing in the door,

Shoes and stockings in her hand,
Little bare feet on the floor.

CHORUS:

Verse 3:

I wish I had a needle and thread

As fine as I could sew,

I"d sew my true love to my side

And down the street I"d go.

CHORUS:
Verse 4:

I wish I had a big fine horse,

And corn to feed him on

And a pretty girl to stay at home

To feed him when I"m gone.

CHORUS:

Verse 5:

Peaches in the summertime

Apples in the fall.

If I can"t get the girl I love,

I don"t want none at all.
