COMPLETE LYRICS:

Wish I was in Shady Grove,
Sittin' in a rockin' chair,
And if those blues would bother me,
I'd rock away from there.

Chorus:
Shady Grove my little love,
Shady Grove I say,
Shady Grove my little love,
I'm bound to go away.

Had a uke, made of gold,
Every string would shine,
The only song that it would play, was
"Wish that girl was mine."

(chorus)

When I was in Shady Grove,
Heard them pretty birds sing,
Next time I go to Shady Grove,
I'll bring a diamond ring.

(chorus)

When you go to catch a fish,
A fish with a hook and line,
When you go to court a girl,
You never look behind.

(chorus)

When I was a little boy,
All I wanted was a knife,
Now I am a great big boy,
I'm looking for a wife.

(chorus)
