Shady Grove

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 'til you reach the sky
 Hey boys, let it ring
 A song for everyone to sing
 ♪
 When the fish start biting at the new mayflies
 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 'til 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, rockabye
 Kiss the pretty girls goodbye
 Hey boys, up on high
 Don't you stop 'til 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
