Shady Grove
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I won't have none at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd pick on it
I wish that girl was mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
(Yes)
Every night, when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
Every night, when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my Daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Nearly drive me crazy
Shady Grove, my true love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
