Suzy Bogguss Lyrics

"Shady Grove"

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Cheeks are like a blooming rose
Eyes are the deepest brown
She's the darlin' of my heart
Stay 'til the sun goes down

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I'd say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I went to see my shady grove
She's standin' in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
Little bare feet on the floor

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down the street I'd go

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I'd say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

I wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
A pretty little girl to stay at home
To feed him when I'm gone

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove I say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

There's peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I want
I don't want none at all

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove I'd say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove I say
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
