Shady Grove Songtext
von Takénobu

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
And ever tune I played 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
The finest that could sew
I'd 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

Cheeks as red as the bloomin' rose
Eyes of the prettiest brown
She is the darling of my heart
The prettiest girl in town


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 came here to marry

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, I know
Shady Grove
My little love
I′m bound for Shady Grove
