Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go away
Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove my friend
Shady Grove is my little love
But I'm leavin' in the end

Went to see my Shady Grove
Her eyes the deepest brown
Went to see my Shady Grove
She's the prettiest girl in town
Went to see my Shady Grove
Her eyes the deepest brown
Went to see my Shady Grove
She's the prettiest girl in town

Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
And I sing day by day
I wish that girl were mine
I wish I had me a banjo string
Made of golden twine
And I sing day by day
I wish that girl were mine

Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I says
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go out West
Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove my friend
Shady Grove is my little love
And I'm leavin' in the end

I wish I had me a big strong horse
And grain to feed him on
And I'd be gone from Shady Grove
Ramblin' on and on
I wish I had me a big strong horse
And grain to feed him on
And I'd be gone from Shady Grove
Playing the same shitty songs

When I was a boy, I wanted
I wanted a Buckley knife
Now all I want is Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
When I was a boy
I wanted a Buckley knife
Well now I will always have one
Firmly strapped to my side

'Cause Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go away
Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I says
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go out West

Cherries in the Summer time
And apples in the Fall
If I can't have me my Shady Grove
I don't have no love at all
Cherries in the Summer time
Apples in the Fall
If I can't have me the girl I love
I don't have no love at all

Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove is my little love
I'm bound to go away
Shady Grove is my little love
Shady Grove my friend
Shady Grove is my little love
And I'm leavin' in the end

YES!
