[Verse 1]
If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew that gal to my side
And down the road, we'd go

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 2]
Peaches in the summer time
And apples in the fall
If I can't have my Shady Grove
No, no one else at all

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Verse 3]
If I had no horse at all
You know I'd be crawling
Up and down the mountainside
Lookin' for my darlin'
[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grovе, my little love
I'm bound to go away

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my littlе love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
