Lyrics from Grisman and Garcia
Cappo 2
Am G
Peaches in the summertime
Am C
Apples in the fall
C G
If I can't get the girl I love
G Am
I don't want none at all (note 1)
[CHORUS]
Am G
Shady grove, my little love
Am C
Shady grove, I say-ee
C G
Shady grove, my little love
G Am
I'm bound to go away
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
Sme 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]
