The Black Crowes - The Shady Grove lyrics

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose Follow it down to the shady grove Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door No two lovers could ask for more So grab your fiddle and your old banjo Play a country blues so sweet and slow We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom And rock all night by the silvery moon These old trees grow straight to heaven So it goes in the shady grove When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold Our fine buck skin dances through the snow We'll take to town on a Saturday night You and me baby make such a sight Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure So it goes in the shady grove Hey boys gather 'round We'll put it up and they'll tear it down Hey boys rockabye Kiss the pretty girls goodbye Hey boys up on high Don't you stop till you reach the sky Hey boys let it ring A song for everyone to sing When the fish start biting at the noon day fry The muddy roads have all done dried The honeys**le says it's summertime That old yellow sun is mighty kind Hear the seasons come with reasons So it goes in the shady grove Hey boys up on high Don't you stop till you reach the sky Hey boys let it ring A song for everyone to sing Won't you be my lullabye, babe In the sweet bye and bye, babe It's okay to cry and let the sadness pa** you by And know I'll always love you, babe Hey boys gather 'round I'll put it up and they'll tear it down Hey boys rock a bye Kiss the pretty girls goodbye Hey boys up on high Don't you stop till you reach the sky Hey boys let it ring A song for everyone to sing A song for everyone to sing A song for everyone to sing A song for everyone to sing A song for everyone to sing
