Shady Grove

Cheeks as red as a bloomin' rose
 Eyes of the prettiest brown
 She's the darling of my heart
 Stay till the sun goes down
 Chorus:
 Shady Grove my little love
 Shady Grove my darling
 Shady Grove my little love
 I'm going back to Harlan
 First time I saw Shady Grove
 She was standing in the door
 Shoes and stockings in her hands
 And her little feet on the floor
 (Chorus)
 Every night when I go home
 My wife would try to please her
 The more I try the worse she gets
 I'll be damned if I don't leave her
 (Chorus)
 I wished I had a big fat horse
 And corn to feed him on and
 A pretty little girl to stay at home
 Feed him when I'm gone
 (Chorus)
 Wished I had a banjo string
 Made of golden twine
 And every time I'd play on it
 Wish that girl was mine
 (Chorus)
 Peaches in the summertime
 Apples in the fall
 If I can't have the one I love
 I won't have none at all
 (Chorus until fade)
