SHADY GROVE

CHEEKS AS RED AS BLOOMING ROSE
AND EYES ARE THE PRETTIEST BROWN
SHE'S THE DARLING OF MY HEART
THE PRETTIEST LITTLE GIRL IN TOWN
----------------chorus---------------
SHADY GROVE MY TRUE LOVE
SHADY GROVE MY DARLING
SHADY GROVE MY TRUE LOVE
GOIN' BACK TO HARLAN
-------------------------------------
I WISH I HAD MY BIG FINE HORSE
AND THE CORN TO FEED HIM ON
LITTLE SHADY GROVE COULD STAY AT HOME
AND FEED HIM WHILE I'M GONE

NOW 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
