Shady Grove
by Pierce Pettis

Album: Great Big World

Red fox jump into my path,
Shining there in the sun,
Then he gave me a little laugh,
Flipped his tail and run,
Blackbird drinking in the water-grass,
Twinkle in her eye,
Her feathers shine all purple and green,
Then away she flies.

Shady Grove, my little love,
Shady Grove, I say,
Shady Grove, my little love,
Oh, I'll be back someday.

Looking for the one I love,
Could that one be you?
Looking for the one I love,
One who love me true.

Shady Grove, my little love,
Shady Grove, my darling,
Shady Grove, my little love,
Oh, you're the one I'm calling.

Do not touch the Columbine,
Just leave it there in the sun,
It'll fade right in your hand,
Now see what you have done.

Shady Grove, my little love,
Shady Grove, my darling,
Shady Grove, my little love,
Oh, you're the one I'm calling,
Shady Grove, my little love,
Shady Grove, I say,
Shady Grove, my little love,
I'll see you one day.

I'll see you someday.
