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
