Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall If I don't get the girl I love, won't have none at all
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
Every time I see that girl, it's always dark and cloudy Every time I see that girl, I always tell her howdy
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
Some come here to fiddle and dance, some come here to tarry Some come here to fiddle and dance, I come here to marry
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
If I had a banjo string made of golden twine Every tune I'd pick on it, I'd wish that girl were mine
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
Shady Grove, my true love, Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my true love, I'm goin' back to Harlan
