Shady Grove - Among The Oak & Ash

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I know

Shady Grove, my little love

I’m bound for the Shady Grove

Wish I had a piece of thread

as fine as I could sew

I’d sew my true love to my side

and down the road I’d go Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I know

Shady Grove, my little love

I’m bound for the Shady Grove

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose

eyes of the deepest brown,

you are the true love of my life,

stay till the sun goes down.

Shady Grove, my little love,

Shady Grove, I say.

Shady Grove, my little love,

don’t wait for the Judgement Day.

Wish I had a banjo string

made of golden twine

every tune I’d play on it

I wish that girl were mine

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I know

Shady Grove, my little love

I’m bound for the Shady Grove

And if I had a watch of gold

on a silver chain

I’d count the hours til the day

I’d see my love again

Shady Grove, my little love

Shady Grove, I know

Shady Grove, my little love

I’m bound for the Shady Grove

Shady Grove, my little love,

Shady Grove, I say.

Shady Grove, my little love,

don’t wait for the Judgement Day.
