Shady Grove Lyrics - David Grisman

Cheeks as red as the blooming rose 

Eyes of the deepest brown 

You are the darling of my heart 

Stay till she sun goes down 

Shady Grove, my little love 

Shady Grove, I say 

Shady Grove, my little love 

I'm going to leave you here 

Shady Grove my little love 

Standin' in the door 

Shose and stockin's in her hand 

I'm bound to go away 

Shady Grove my little love 

Standin' in the door 

Shose and stockin's in her hand 

And her little bare feet on the floor 

Wish I had a big, fine horse 

And the Corn to feed him on 

And Shady Grove to stay at home 

And feed him while I'm gone 

I used to have an old banjo 

The strings were made of twine 

The only song that it would play 

Was "Trouble on my Mind". 

Peaches in the summertime 

Apples in the fall 

If I can't have the girl I love 

I won't have none at all. 

Shady Grove, my little love 

Shady Grove, I say 

Shady Grove, my little love 

Don't wait till Judgment Day
