Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I love
I don't want none at all.
Chorus 1
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm goin' back to Harlin
Chorus 2
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for shady grove
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
And eyes are the deepest brown.
You are the darling of my heart
Stay til the sun goes down.
Chorus
I 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 gone.
Chorus
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine.
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl were mine.
Chorus

Wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew.
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go.
Chorus
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Sme come here to tarry.
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I am a bigger boy
And want me a little wife.
Chorus
A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain't no girl in this old world
That's prettier than mine.
