Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
Eyes the deepest brown
You are the darling of my heart
Stay ‘til the sun goes down
ChorusShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m bound to go away
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she’ll be my wife
ChorusShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m bound to go away
A kiss from little Shady Grove
Is as sweet as brandy wine
There ain’t no girl in this old world
That’s prettier than mine
ChorusShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m bound to go away
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can’t have my own true love
I won’t have none at all
ChorusShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I’m bound to go away
I’m bound to go away
I’m bound to go away
