    A traditional song, re-arranged, with an added verse of my own.

    Lyrics

    Shady grove, my little love, shady grove, I know
    Shady grove, my sweet love, bound for the shady grove

    Once I had an old banjo, strings were made of twine
    The only tune that it would play was trouble on my mind

    Once I had a gold banjo, and every string did shine
    The only tune that it would play was I wish that girl was mine

    Once I had a fine banjo, precious but frail
    And every weary tune on it said while you can, set sail

    Wish I was in shady grove, sittin' on a rocking chair
    And if the blues won't leave me alone, I'll rock away from there
