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.
I got me in bed and covered my head. Wish I was dead with Sally Jo. Sally Jo where did you go Sally Jo. . Since you have gone my days are turned to night.
Dear sweetheart as I write to you my heart is filled with pain. For if those things I hear are true I'll never see you again. They tell me darlin' that tonight you'll wed another man.
Written by billy burnette and larry henley.. . Still awake on borrowed time. I got my baby on my mind. Baby she's the only one. Only one gonna get me some.
Stepchild you've had a hard way to go. How come your daddy run away your mama never did know. All you remember is becoming a step son to your mama's new man.
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman. Giving all your love to just one man. You'll have sad times and he'll have good times. Doin' things that you don't understand.
Tonight again you'll be holding another tenderly. Whispering soft sweet words you once spoke to me. While I'm here a lonely living old memories. Of the precious love you once gave to me.
Here's a song I love to sing it's about the man that wears my ring. And even though he's tempted he knows I'll make sure that he gets everything. Cause when he's cold he knows I'm warm and I warm him in my arms.
Sing me, sing me an old fashion song. Bring me, back in my mind to a time. Where my memories all come from. A good timing song, the kind. That makes you wanta sing along.
In a vine covered shack in the mountains. Bravely fighting the battle of time. Is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows. 'Tis that silver haired daddy of mine.
There's a tree out in the backyard. That never has been broken by the wind. And the reason it's still standing. It was strong enough to bend. . For years, we have stayed together.
Through the sleepless nights. I cry for you. And wonder who. Is kissing you. Oh these sleepless nights. Will break my heart in two. . Somehow through the days.
And sleep I think to myself. For all of us, for all of us. Beating fiercely against the wind. Or lying there with broken hands. Wondrous wings and blinded eyes.
Here under Heaven's eyes, down under paradise. Sometimes it seems like we're so small. Here on the shores that reach beyond infinity. How could we matter much at all.
From the first breath of her life. She flew straight into my arms. I used to catch her from the swings. When she was five.... And now she dances on the wind.
I had it all lined up. And then my future crashed. I heard the deadbolt lock. And there stood my past. . But there are no signs for tomorrow. On the back roads of my sorrow.
