Deep Shady Grove, and the lyrics. There is a country version available, but I am searching for one that is done with only Jean's voice and her dulcimer. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Chance |

I can get the lyric and melody from that later recording however, thanks!l |

Ha! I have it in Jean's songbook, "Celebration of Life". I'll transcribe it for you. Maeve |

Ritchie Banks From: maeve Mods, kindly correct the subject to match the authors, below. ___________________________ "Deep Shady Grove" by Floyd & Edna Ritchie Banks (As found in "Jean Ritchie Celebration of Life; Her Songs...Her Poems") A I walked out one May morning D A To hear the birds sing sweet. E A I seated myself in a deep shady grove E A To hear those true lovers meet. To hear those true lovers meet, sweetheart, D A And to hear what they might say; E A I wanted to know a piece of their mind E A Before they went away. Don't you remember about three years ago With your arms around my waist? You could make me believe by the false that you swore That the sun rose up in the west, That the sun rose up in the west, sweetheart, And turned away to the east; And now I've returned and found you here And found you on your knees. Well I never will believe what another woman says, Let her hair be yellow, dark or brown, Unless she be on some high gallows tree And sayin' that she wants to come down. And a-sayin' that she wants to come down, sweetheart, For no one would like to be hung; For the words of a young girl is hard to believe That has lied to everyone. |

14 Oct 22 - 10:53 PM (#4155092) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Deep Shady Grove - Jean/Edna Ritchie From: GUEST,Jen Maeve, we have this recording but no lyrics. I really appreciate you posting those! There are more verses in the song - do you have the whole thing? There is a part right after "Before they went away" that starts with "Come set you down. Come set you down - come set you down upon the green...." I've been wanting to transcribe this song myself because my partner and I really love it. TIA if you do have the complete lyrics and can post again - I realize this is a thread from 2015! |
