I was just setting here lookin' 

Lookin' way down in Shady Grove, now 

I was settin' an lookin' 

Lookin' way down in Shady Grove, now 

Now, that's where they carried my baby 

A long, long time ago, now

I heard the church bells ringin' 

An the hearse was drivin' slow, now 

A heard the church bells ringin' 

Peoples, and the hearse was drivin' slow, now 

Lord, an I hate to see me baby leave me 

Oh peoples, but she just had to go, now 

 

I looked in my mother's face, now 

An Lord, an I just hung my head an cry, now 

I looked in my mother's face, now 

People, I just a-hung my head and cry, now 

I said, 'Leaved these good lookin' women to kill me 

Mama, you just leave yo' poor Sonny Boy down, now' 

 

You know I laid down last night one 

Peoples I tried to take my rest, now 

You know I laid down last night 

People I tried to take my rest, now 

You know my mind got to ramblin' 

Just like the wild geese in the west, now

Lord, I'm goin' to the gypsy, now 

To have my baby's fortune told, now 

I swear I'm goin' to the gypsy 

Lord, to have my baby's fortune told, now 

But she said, 'But Sonny Boy, you's a bad luck chile 

An you catch the devil ev'rywhere you go, now.
