Shady Grove Lyrics by Crooked Still

Hop High

0

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
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
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
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
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
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
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
Wished I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
And every time I'd play on it
Wish that girl was mine
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I love
I won't have none at all
Shady Grove my little love
Shady Grove my darling
Shady Grove my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
(until fade)
