lyrics

Peaches in the summertime … Apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I love … I don't want none at all

Chorus:
Shady grove, my little love … Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love … I'm bound for shady grove

Wish I had a banjo string … Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it … I wish that girl were mine
[chorus]

Wish I had a needle and thread … Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side … And down the road I'd go
[chorus]

Some come here to fiddle and dance… Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance… I come here to marry
[chorus]

Every night when I go home … My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets… Damned if I don't leave her
[chorus]
