Lyrics

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m bound for the shady grove

I 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 til the sun goes down

REFRAIN:
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Don’t wait for the judgment day

I wish I had a banjo string made of golden twine
Every tune that I would play I wished that girl was mine

REFRAIN

And if I had a watch of gold on a silver chain
I’d count the hours until the day I saw that girl again

REFRAIN x2
