Shady Grove Songtext
von Billy Strings

Cheeks as red as a bloomin′ rose and eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darlin′ of my heart, sweetest little girl in town
If I had a big fine horse and the grain to feed him on
Then Shady Grove could stay at home and feed him while I'm gone

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, I'm bound to go away


Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove is sweet as brandywine
And there ain′t no girl in this whole world prettier than mine
Went to see my Shady Grove, she was standin′ in the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, I'm bound to go away

When I was a little boy I wanted a barber knife
Now I want little Shady Grove to say she′ll be my wife
Peaches in the summertime and apples in the fall
If I can't have my Shady Grove I don′t want none at all

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, I'm bound to go away
