Shady Grove
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I don't want 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 play 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
I wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
Sew that pretty girl 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 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
Every night when I go home
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
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my little love
I'm goin' back to Berlin
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I don't want 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 play 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
I wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
Sew that pretty girl 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 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
Every night when I go home
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
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my little love
I'm goin' back to Berlin
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
