about

inspired by Doc Watson's version. played on omnichord.

lyrics

shady grove my little love, shady grove i say
shady grove my little love i'm bound to go away
cheeks as red as the bloomin' rose, eyes of the prettiest brown
she's the darlin' of my heart, sweetest little girl in town

i 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
shady grove my little love, shady grove i say
shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away.

kiss from pretty little shady grove is sweet as the brand new wine
there ain't no girl in this whole world who's prettier'n mine
shady grove my little love, shady grove i say
shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away

went to see my shady grove, she was standin' in the door
her shoes and stockings in her hands and her little bare feet on the floor
shady 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
now i want little shady grove to say she'll be my wife
shady grove my little love, shady grove i say
shady grove my little love, i'm bound to go away
