Jerry Garcia - Shady Grove

 

Peaches in the summertime apples in the fall if I can't get the girl I love I don't want none at all (note 1)

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 (note 2) I wish that girl were mine

[Chorus]

Wish I had a needle and thread (note 3) 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 sme come here to tarry some come here to fiddle and dance I come here to marry

[Chorus]

Every night when I go home (note 4) my wife, I try to please her the more I try, the worse she gets damned if I don't leave her

[Chorus]

Fly around, my pretty little miss (note 5) fly around, my daisy fly around, my pretty little miss nearly drive me crazy

[Chorus]
