Shady Grove

from UNION by Pegasissy

lyrics

When I first saw Shady Grove, she was standing at the door, shoes and stockings in her hand, pretty bare feet on the floor.

Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, I say. Shady Grove, my true love, bound to go away.

When I was an itty bitty girl I wanted a barlow knife. Now I just want Shady Grove to say she'll be my wife.

Carve our names with a barlow knife into a cedar tree.
Spend the night in a little shed on your father's property.

Sky as clear as sapphire gin, moon is a china cup.
You are the darling of my heart, stay till the sun comes up.

Wish I had a big fine horse and corn to feed her on.
I'd ride on after Shady Grove when I wake to find her gone.
