- Shady Grove LyricsPeaches in the summertime Apples in the fall If I can't get the girl I love I don't want none at all (note 1)
Chorus Shady grove, my little love Shady grove, I know Shady grove, my little love I'm bound for shady grove
Wish I had a banjo string Made of golden twine Every tune I'd play on it (note 2) I wish that girl were mine
[chorus]
Wish I had a needle and thread (note 3) Fine as I could sew I'd sew that pretty girl to my side And down the road I'd go
[chorus]
Some come here to fiddle and dance Sme come here to tarry Some come here to fiddle and dance I come here to marry
[chorus]
Every night when I go home (note 4) My wife, I try to please her The more I try, the worse she gets Damned if I don't leave her
[chorus]
Fly around, my pretty little miss (note 5) Fly around, my Daisy Fly around, my pretty little miss Nearly drive me crazy
[chorus]
