Schwa Lyrics

Shady Grove

Lyricist: Traditional
Vocalist: Cliff Starbuck

Shady grove my little love 
Shady grove I say 
Shady grove my little love 
Bound for shady grove 

Wish I was in shady grove 
Sittin' in a rockin' chair 
And if those blues would bother me 
I'd rock away from there 

Had a banjo made of gold 
Every string would shine 
The only song that it would play 
Wish that girl was mine 

When I was in shady grove 
Heard them pretty birds sing 
The next time I go to shady grove 
Take along a diamond ring 

When you go to catch a fish 
Fish with a hook and line 
When you go to court a girl 
Never look behind 

When I was a little boy 
All I wanted was a knife 
Now I am a great big boy 
I'm lookin' for a wife
