Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Tony Rice - Shady Grove Lyrics

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I won't have none at all

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd pick on it
I wish that girl was mine

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

(Yes)

Every night, when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm going back to Harlan

Every night, when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my Daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Nearly drive me crazy

Shady Grove, my true love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
