Shady Grove - Blood Oranges

When I was a little boy

I wanted to borrow night

Now I am a great big man

And Shady Grove’s my wife

Her cheeks is red as a blooming rose

And her eyes the prettiest brown

She’s the darling of my heart

The sweetest girl in town

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan

Peaches in the summertime

Apples in the fall

If I can’t have my Shady Grove

I’ll have no love at all

Some come here to fiddle and dance

Some come here to tarry

Some come here to fiddle and dance

Some come here to marry

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan

Shady Grove my true love

Shady Grove my darling

Shady Grove my true love

I’m going back to Harlan
