[Intro]
Dm
Dm C Peaches in the summertime, Dm Apples in the fall, C If I can't have the girl I love, C Dm I don't want none at all.
[Chorus]
Dm C Shady grove, my little love, Dm Shady grove, I know, C Shady grove, my little love, C Dm 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
Some 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
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my little love
I'm goin' back to Berlin
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
