Shady Grove

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove

Wish I had a piece of thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down the road I'd go

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
Eyes of the deepest brown
You are the true love of my life
Stay till the sun goes down

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Don't wait for the Judgement Day

Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl were mine

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove

And if I had a watch of gold
On a silver chain
I'd count the hours til the day
I'd see my love again

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Don't wait for the Judgement Day
