Shady Grove lyrics
by Doc Watson
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, now I’m goin’ away
Wish I was in Baltimore sitting in a big armchair
One arm around my whiskey keg
And the other ‘un around my dear
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, now I’m goin’ away
All I want is a pig in a pen
Corn to feed him on
Pretty little girl to stay at home
Feed him when I’m gone
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love, now I’m goin’ away
