Cat. #0839 (MFH #607) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 27, 1969
CHORUS:
Shady grove, my little love
Shady grove, I'm bound
Shady grove, my little love
Shady when th sun goes down
VERSE 1
Wish't I had a big fine horse
Corn t' feed 'im on
If I had a pretty little girl
T' feed 'im when I'm gone
VERSE 2
Wish't I had a pretty little girl
T' tell my secrets to
This ole thing I have got
Tells everything I do
VERSE 3
Everytime I come home
Always try to please her
Th more I try, th madder she gits
By damned if I don't leave her
