The Shady Grove

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primroseFollow it down to the shady groveBonnie blow the breeze by the cabin doorNo two lovers could ask for moreSo grab your fiddle and your old banjoPlay a country blues so sweet and slowWe'll sing along to the drunkard's doomAnd rock all night by the silvery moonThese old trees grow straight to heavenSo it goes in the shady groveWhen the old hen crackles and the ground gets coldOur fine buck skin dances through the snowWe'll take to town on a Saturday nightYou and me baby make such a sightWhiskey, wine, name your pleasureSo it goes in the shady groveHey boys gather roundWe'll put it up and they'll tear it downHey boys rockabyeKiss the pretty girls goodbyeHey boys up on highDon't you stop till you reach the skyHey boys let it ringA song for everyone to singWhen the fish start bitingAt the new may fliesThe muddy roads have all done driedThe honeysuckle says it's summertimeThat old yellow sun is mighty kindHear the seasons come with reasonsSo it goes in the shady groveHey boys up on highDon't you stop till you reach the skyHey boys let it ringA song for everyone to singWon't you be my lullabye babeIn the sweet bye and bye babeIt's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you byAnd know I'll always love you babeHey boys gather roundI'll put it up and they'll tear it downHey boys rock a byeKiss the pretty girls goodbyeHey boys up on highDon't you stop till you reach the skyHey boys let it ringA song for everyone to sing
