Session A9 - Shady Grove

Lyrics:

Peaches in the summer time
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I won't have none at all

Chorus (after each verse):
Shady grove, my little love
Oh shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my little love
I'm bound for shady grove

And if I had a banjo string
Made of gold and twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I'd wish that girl was mine

And if I had a needle and thread
Lord, the means to sew
I sew that girl to the side of myself
And I'd head off down the road

Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
And I come here to marry

Every night 'ere I get home
My wife, I try to please her
But the harder I try, the worse she gets
I'm damned if I don't leave her
