===== Lyrics =====

==== Chorus (over the B part) ====

Shady Grove, my little love, \\
Shady Grove, I say! \\
Shady Grove, my little love, \\
I’m bound to go away.

==== Verses (over the B part) ====

I went to see my Shady Grove; \\
She was standing in the door. \\
Shoes and stockings in her hand; \\
Her little bare feet on the floor.

When I left my Shady Grove, \\
She hung her head and cried. \\
She said I was the darndest fool \\
That ever lived or died.

I wish I was with Shady Grove, \\
Sitting in a big arm chair, \\
One arm around a whisky barrel \\
And the other around my dear.
