Terry in San Diego Lyr Req: Pig in a Pen (from Old and in the Way) (17) Lyr Add: SHADY GROVE (from Doc Watson) 03 Sep 98


Here's Doc Watson's version of Shady Grove:

Chorus:
Shady Grove, my true love
Shady Grove they say
Shady Grove, my true love
Bound to go away.

Cheeks as red as a bloomin' rose Eyes the prettiest brown
She's the darlin' of my life,
Sweetest girl in town.

Chorus

Wish I had a big, fine horse
And corn to feed him on.
And pretty little Shady Grove
To feed him when I'm gone

Chorus

When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife.
Now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife.

Chorus

Last time I seen my Shady Grove
She was standin' in the door.
Shoes and stockings in her hand
And bare feet on the floor.

Chorus

Kiss from pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And there's no girl in this whole world
Prettier than mine.

Chorus


Chords are Dm, C, Dm, F, C, Am, Dm

Sorry if my line breaks didn't work in HTML.

It works much better with line breaks at the end of every line, Terry. It's [br], but with angle brackets instead of the square ones. -Joe Offer-
