Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove I say,
Shady Grove, my little love,  I'm bound to go away.

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose,  And eyes are the prettiest brown,
She's the darling of my heart,  Sweetest little girl in town.

I wish I had a big fine horse,  And corn to feed him on,
And Shady Grove to stay at home,  And feed him while I'm gone.
 
Shady Grove my little love,  Shady Grove I know,
Shady Grove my little love,  Bound for the Shady Grove.
 
Ending:
Shady Grove my little love, Bound for the Shady Grove.
