Traditional - Shady Grove 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 blooming rose And eyes are the prettiest brown She's the darling of my heart Sweetest lil' girl in town I wish I had a big fine horse And corn to feed him on And Shady Grove to stay at home And feed him while I'm gone Went to see my Shady Grove Standing in the door Her shoes and stockin's in her hand And her little bare feet on the door When I was a little boy I wanted a Barlow knife Now I want little Shady Grove To say she'll be my wife (Chorus)
