Shady Grove
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the Fall
If I can' have the girl I love, I don't want none at all
And if I was an apple hangin' from a tree
Every time she'd pass me by, she'd take a bite out of me
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
A smile that's pretty as a bloomin' rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darlin' of my heart, the sweet girl around
I went to see my Shady Grove, and she was standin' by the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And when I was a little boy, I wanted a Barlow knife
Now I want little Shady Grove to say she'll be my wife
And I wish I had a glass of wine and bread and meat for two
I'd serve it up on a golden plate and give it all to you
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And I wish I had me a big fine horse and corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home and feed him when I'm gone
Because a kiss from pretty little Shady Grove is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl out in this world that's prettier than mine
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And if I was a musician, I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my heart the way you pluck a string
And if I had a banjo string made of golden twine
Every tune I'd pick on it I'd wish that girl was mine
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
If I can' have the girl I love, I don't want none at all
And if I was an apple hangin' from a tree
Every time she'd pass me by, she'd take a bite out of me
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
A smile that's pretty as a bloomin' rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darlin' of my heart, the sweet girl around
I went to see my Shady Grove, and she was standin' by the door
Her shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And when I was a little boy, I wanted a Barlow knife
Now I want little Shady Grove to say she'll be my wife
And I wish I had a glass of wine and bread and meat for two
I'd serve it up on a golden plate and give it all to you
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And I wish I had me a big fine horse and corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home and feed him when I'm gone
Because a kiss from pretty little Shady Grove is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl out in this world that's prettier than mine
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
And if I was a musician, I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my heart the way you pluck a string
And if I had a banjo string made of golden twine
Every tune I'd pick on it I'd wish that girl was mine
Now Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
