Intro: () Peaches in the summertime, () Apples in the fall, If I can't get the girl I love, Won't have none at all. Chorus: () Shady grove, my true love, () Shady grove, I know, Shady grove, my true love, I'm bound for the 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 Some 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]
