Shady Grove Got a little house in Shady Grove Down beside the river Where the cold north wind can't come in To make me shake and shiver Get up Jack, put on your shoes Put on your Sunday clothes I got no shoes to cover my feet Going down this Shady Grove Got a little pig in the pen Corn to feed him on What I need is a good little wife To feed him when I'm gone Get up Jack, put on your shoes Put on your Sunday clothes I got no shoes to cover my feet Going down this Shady Grove Got an old mule, his name is Bob He's strong in flesh and bone What I need is a good little boy To plow him when I'm gone Get up Jack, put on your shoes Put on your Sunday clothes I got no shoes to cover my feet Going down this Shady Grove I got me now a good little wife To make my house a home Sweep the floors and do the chores And love me when I'm gone Get up Jack, put on your shoes Put on your Sunday clothes I got no shoes to cover my feet Going down this Shady Grove Make me now a good pine box Make it six feet long Bury me in the Shady Grove And sing me a happy song Get up Jack, put on your shoes Put on your Sunday clothes I got no shoes to cover my feet Going down this Shady Grove I got me now a good pine box Make it six feet long Bury me in the Shady Grove
