Shady Grove from Paint Creek by Zack Danny Kitchen

Wish I was a 'simmon tree
planted in the ground.
Everytime you walk on by
shake a 'simmon down.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove my darlin',
shady grove my little love,
bound to go away.

Cheeks as red as bloomin' rose,
eyes the prettiest green,
she's the darlin' of my heart,
the sweetest girl I'd seen.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove my darlin',
shady grove my little love,
bound to go away.

Went to see my shady grove,
she's standin' in the door,
with her shoes and stockings in her hands,
little bare feet on the floor.

Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove my darlin',
shady grove my little love,
bound to go away.
