Shady Grove Lyrics - Singles - Watson Family

Chorus: 

Shady Grove, my little love, 

Shady grove I say. 

Shady Grove, my little love, 

I'm a-bound to go away. 

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose, 

And eyes of the prettiest brown; 

She's the darling of my heart, 

The prettiest little girl in town. 

I wish I had a glass of wine 

And bread and meat for two; 

I'd set it all on a golden plate 

And give it all to you. 

Chorus: 

I wish I had me a big fine horse 

And the corn to feed him on, 

Little Shady Grove to stay at home 

And feed him while I'm gone. 

When I went to see my Shady Grove 

She was a-standing in the door. 

Her shoes and stockings in her hand 

And her little bare feet on the floor. 

Chorus: 

Now 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. 

A kiss from little Shady Grove 

Is as sweet as brandywine, 

And there ain't no girl in this whole world 

That's prettier than mine. 

Chorus:
