Cheeks as red as a bloomin' rose
Eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down
Chorus:
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
First time I saw Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hands
And her little feet on the floor
(Chorus)
Every night when I go home
My wife would try to please her
The more I try the worse she gets
I'll be damned if I don't leave her
(Chorus)
I wished I had a big fat horse
And corn to feed him on and
A pretty little girl to stay at home
Feed him when I'm gone
(Chorus)
Wished I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
And every time I'd play on it
Wish that girl was mine
(Chorus)
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I love
I won't have none at all
(Chorus until fade)
