介绍:
A very popular traditional song, "Shady Grove" is probably based on a much older song from the 16th Century called Mattie Groves. To our ears it represents a quintessential style that is very much entwined in Old Time music; a lyric that playfully recalls the joys and euphoria of first love while its melody foretells its futility. Although it has been recorded many times, because of it's place in the folk canon we chose to cover it too.
歌词:
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove
I wish I had a piece of thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down the road I'd go
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose
Eyes of the deepest brown
You are the true love of my life
Stay till the sun goes down
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Don't wait for the Judgement Day
I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune that I would play
I'd wish that girl was mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove
And if I had a watch of gold
On a silver chain
I'd count the hours till the day
I'd see my love again
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for the Shady Grove
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Don't wait for the Judgement Day
