Shady Grove Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Shady Grove my little love 

Shady Grove my darlin 

Shady Grove my little love 

I'm a goin' back to harlem 

Went to see my Shady Grove 

She's a standin in the door 

Her shoes and stockins in her hand 

And her little bare feet on the floor 

Refrain 

Lips as red as the bloomin Rose 

And eyes o' the prettiest brown 

She's the darling of my heart 

Prettiest little thing in town 

Refrain 

I wish I had a big fine horse 

And corn to feed him on 

And Shady Grove to stay at home 

And feed him when I'm gone 

Refrain 

When I was a little boy 

I wanted a Barlowe knife 

And now I want little Shady Grove 

To say she'll be my wife 

Refrain
