Shady Grove Songtext
von Suzy Bogguss

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

Cheeks are like a blooming rose
Eyes of the deepest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down

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

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


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

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

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

I wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
A pretty girl to stay at home
To feed him when I′m gone

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


Peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I can′t get the girl I want
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

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