The Shady Grove Lyrics - Black Crowes

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose 

Follow it down to the shady grove 

Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door 

No two lovers could ask for more 

So grab your fiddle and your old banjo 

Play a country blues so sweet and slow 

We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom 

And rock all night by the silvery moon 

These old trees grow straight to heaven 

So it goes in the shady grove 

When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold 

Our fine buck skin dances through the snow 

We'll take to town on a Saturday night 

You and me baby make such a sight

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure 

So it goes in the shady grove 

Hey boys, gather round 

We'll put it up and they'll tear it down 

Hey boys, rockabye 

Kiss the pretty girls goodbye 

Hey boys, up on high 

Don't you stop 'til you reach the sky 

Hey boys, let it ring 

A song for everyone to sing 

When the fish start biting at the new mayflies 

The muddy roads have all done dried 

The honeysuckle says it's summertime 

That old yellow sun is mighty kind 

Hear the seasons come with reasons 

So it goes in the shady grove

It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by 

And know I'll always love you, babe
