Billy Strings "Shady Grove" 7/22/23 Essex Junction, VT

[Crowd cheering].

[Music].

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose. And eyes are the prettiest brown.

She's the darling of my heart. Sweetest little girl in town.

If I had a big fine horse. And green to feed him on.

And Shady Grove to stay at home. And feed him while I'm gone.

Shady Grove, my little love. Shady Grove I say.

Shady Grove, my little love. I'm bound to go away.

[Music].

Went to see my Shady Grove. She was standing in the door.

Her shoes and stockings in her hand. And her little bare feet on the floor.

A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove. Is sweet as brandy wine.

And there ain′t no girl in this old world. That's prettier than mine.

Shady Grove, my little love. Shady Grove I say.

Shady Grove, my little love. I'm bound to go away.

[Music].

If I had a glass of wine, eating bread for two.

I'd put it out on a golden plate and give it all to you.

Shady Grove, my little love. Shady Grove I say.

Shady Grove, my little love. I'm bound to go away.

[Music].

Well, if I had me a needle and threads, as fine as I could sew.

I'd show my little girl and son down the road we go.

Shady Grove, my little love. Shady Grove I say.

Shady Grove, my little love. I'm bound to go away.

[Music].

Peaches in the summertime. And apples in the fall.

If I can't have my Shady Grove. I don't have none at all.

Shady Grove, my little love. Shady Grove, I say.

Shady Grove, my little love. I'm bound to go away.

[Music].

[Crowd cheering].

Thank you, folks.
