Pinmonkey Lyrics
Shady Grove
Written by Michael Reynolds
I wanna find me a little shady grove:
Shady grove, I say:
I wanna find me at little shady grove.
Tonight I'm a-going back to Harlem.
Tonight, I'm going back to see,
If I could find my little darlin',
Who once was so in love with me.
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say:
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say,
For the one that I have loved now has gone away:
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
Full moon is risin' on the meadow:
It steals the last light of the day.
I went a-runnin' through the shadows,
An' I lost my love along the way.
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say:
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say,
For the one that I have loved now has gone away:
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
Instrumental break.
Don't sing to me my little mornin' dove:
Don't fly around my garden wall.
If I cannot have the one I love,
Then I'll have no love at all.
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say:
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say,
For the one that I have loved now has gone away:
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say:
I wanna find me a little shady grove, shady grove, I say,
For the one that I have loved now has gone away:
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
I want to find me a little shady grove.
I wanna find me a little shady grove.
