Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose
|
Follow it down to the shady grove
|
Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door
|
No two lovers could ask for more
|
|
So grab your fiddle and your old banjo
|
Play a country blues so sweet and slow
|
We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom
|
And rock all night by the silvery moon
|
|
These old trees grow straight to heaven
|
So it goes in the shady grove
|
|
When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold
|
Our fine buck skin dances through the snow
|
We'll take to town on a Saturday night
|
You and me baby make such a sight
|
|
Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure
|
So it goes in the shady grove
|
|
Hey boys gather 'round
|
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down
|
Hey boys rockabye
|
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye
|
|
Hey boys up on high
|
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
|
Hey boys let it ring
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
|
When the fish start biting at the noon day fry
|
The muddy roads have all done dried
|
The honeysuckle says it's summertime
|
That old yellow sun is mighty kind
|
|
Hear the seasons come with reasons
|
So it goes in the shady grove
|
|
Hey boys up on high
|
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
|
Hey boys let it ring
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
|
Won't you be my lullaby, babe
|
In the sweet bye and bye, babe
|
It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by
|
And know I'll always love you, babe
|
|
Hey boys gather 'round
|
I'll put it up and they'll tear it down
|
Hey boys rock a bye
|
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye
|
|
Hey boys up on high
|
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
|
Hey boys let it ring
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
A song for everyone to sing
|
