Shady Grove [core]
Chorus
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little love
Goin' back to Harlen
Coffee grows on the white oak tree
The river flows with brandy
The rocks on the hills are covered with gold
And the girls are sweeter than candy
Did you think my little miss
That I would live without you
I'll let you know before I go
I hear so little about you
Every time I take that road
It's always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that girl
I always tell her howdy
If I had no horse at all
I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
A-looking for my darling
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I love
I won't have none at all
Higher up the cherry tree
Riper grow the cherries
The sooner you begin to court
The sooner you will marry
