Peaches in the summer time
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the one I love
I'll have no one at all
Shady Grove, my true love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my true love
I'm goin' back to Harlan
Verse
If I had no horse to ride
I'd be found a crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
Lookin' for my darlin'
Shady Grove, my true love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my true love
I'm goin' back to Harlan
Verse
When I go to Shady Grove
I'd like to stay all day
And there beneath the apple trees
I'll dance my cares away
Shady Grove, my true love
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my true love
I'm goin' back to Harlan
