[Introduction] X 2
Dm C Dm Am7 F C Am Dm
[Chorus]
Dm C
Shady Grove, my little love
Dm Am7
Shady Grove I say
F C
Shady Grove, my little love
Am Dm
I'm bound to go away
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
Dm Am7
And eyes are the prettiest brown
F C
She's the darling of my heart
Am Dm
Sweetest little girl in town
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Verse] X 2
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Verse] X 2
[Verse 4]
Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Verse] X 2
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Verse] X 2
[Verse 6]
Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mine
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Verse] X 2
[Additional Verses]
Wish I had a glass of wine
And bread and meat for two
I'd set it out on a golden plate
And I'd give it all to you
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have little Shady Grove
I don't want no gal at all
[Verse]
If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I can sew
I'd sew my pretty girl to my side
And down the road we go
