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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ernest Van "Pop" Stoneman (May 25, 1893 – June 14, 1968) ranked among the prominent recording artists of country music's first commercial decade. Born in Monarat (Iron Ridge), Carroll County, Virginia, near what would later become Galax, Stoneman was left motherless at age three and was raised by his father and three musically inclined cousins, who taught him the instrumental and vocal traditions of Blue Ridge mountain culture. He became a singer and songwriter, and proficient musician on the guitar, autoharp, harmonica, clawhammer banjo, and jew's harp.
