[1m] Shady Grove [^b7] my little love
[1m] Shady Grove I say
[^b3] Shady Grove [^b7] my little love
I'm [5m] bound to go aw-[1m]-ay

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest girl in towm

I wish I had a big fine horse
And the corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone

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

When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
Now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

A 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
