Shady Grove
Lyrics:
Traditional
A Sample Riff
Dm C
Peaches in the summertime
Dm
Apples in the fall
F C
If I can't get the girl I love
Dm
I don't want none at all
Dm C
Shady Grove, my little love
Dm
Shady Grove, I know
F C
Shady Grove, my little love
Dm
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl was mine
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
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
Every night when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her

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:
Shady grove, my little love,
Shady grove, I know,
Shady grove, my little love,
I'm bound for shady grove.
Wish I had a banjo string,
Made of golden twine,
Every tune I'd play on it,
I wish that girl was 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,
Some come here to tarry,
Some come here to fiddle and dance,
I come here to marry.
(Chorus)
Every night when I go home,
My wife, I try to please her,
The more I try the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her.
