Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I say;Shady Grove, my little love, I'm bound for Harlan town.

Peaches in the summer time, apples in the fall;If I can't have the girl I love, I won't have none at all.

Repeat chorus

Wish I had a big fine horse, corn to feed him on;And Shady Grove to stay at home and feed him while I'm gone.

Repeat chorus

Don't you remember, Shady Grove, when we used to dance?All along the froggy banks we held each other's hands.

Repeat chorus
