about

Deep Shady Grove
From the singing of Floyd & Edna Ritchie Baker

lyrics

I got up one May morning for to hear the birds sing sweet

I seated myself in a deep shady grove for to hear those true lovers meet

For to hear those true lovers meet, sweetheart,
and to hear what they might say

I wanted to know a piece of their mind before they went away.



Come set you down, come set you down,
come set you down upon the green
For it’s been three quarters of a long, long year
since together we have been

Don't you remember about three years ago
with your arms around my waist?
You could make me believe by the false that you swore
that the sun rose up in the west

That the sun rose up in the west, sweetheart, and turned away to the east
And now I've returned and found you here and found you on your knees

Instrumental


Well, I never will believe what another woman says
let her hair be yellow, dark or brown,

Unless she is on some high gallows tree
and a-sayin' that she wants to come down

And a-sayin' that she wants to come down, sweetheart,
for no one would like to be hung
And the words of a young girl is so hard to believe
that has lied to everyone
