Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
eyes the deepest brown
You are the darling of my heart
Stay till the sun goes down
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Bound to go away
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
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Bound to go away
A kiss form little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Bound to go away
Peaches in the summer time
Apples in the fall
If i can't have my old true love
I won't have them at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Bound to go away
Bound to go away
Bound to go away
