Shady Grove Lyrics


Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go awayCheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest little girl in townShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go awayI 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 goneShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go awayWent 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 floorShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go awayWhen I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wifeShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go awayKiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mineShady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

When Folkways sought in 1960 to return banjo man Ashley to the public eye, he brought along his neighbor Watson, a blind, flat-picking guitarist then playing in an electric rockabilly band. To say that Doc and his easy-going grace stole the show would be an understatement. It wasn’t just his crystal-clear picking style that so astonished, but also the encyclopedic bag of licks that enabled Doc to seemingly play all night without repeating any, and the equally infinite number of traditional songs he carried in his head. From Ashley’s calling-card “The Coo Coo Bird” to Watson’s solo “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” these are among the most essential sides of the folk revival.
