Chorus:
|
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know. Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove. (Last time: Bound for Shady Grove. (Right on over to Lonesome Traveler)
|
|
Lips as red as the bloomin' rose, eyes of the deepest brown, You are the darlin' of my heart stay 'til the sun goes down.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
I went to see my Shady Grove standin' by the door, shoes and stockings in her hand little bare feet on the floor.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
I wish'd I had a big fat horse, corn to feed him on, pretty little girl to stay at home, you feed him when I'm gone.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Well, (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler (Repeat twice)
|
I've been a-travelin' on.
|
|
I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys, (Repeat twice)
|
Well, I've been a-travelin' on.
|
|
I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well (Repeat twice)
|
I've been a-travelin' on.
|
|
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelin', well (Repeat twice)
|
Stop all this travelin' on.
|
|
I'm gonna keep right on a-travelin' on that road to freedom (Repeat twice)
|
Well, I've been a-travelin' on.
