Shady Grove by The Tin Box Boys Lyrics

[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 1]
Cheeks as red as a blossoming rose
And the eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest girl in town

[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 2]
Wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone
[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 3]
Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
And bare feet on the floor

[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 4]
When I was a little boy
I wanted a battle knife
Now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away
[Verse 5]
Kiss the pretty Shady Grove
She's as sweet as a brandy wine
Ain't no other girl in this world
That's prettier than mine

[Hook]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Outro]
Shady Grove, oh my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, oh my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove
