Red fox jump into my path
Shining there in the sun
Then he gave me a little laugh
Flipped his tail and run
Blackbird drinking in the water-grass
Twinkle in her eye
Her feathers shine all purple and green
Then away she flies

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
Oh, I'll be back someday

Looking for the one I love
Could that one be you?
Looking for the one I love
One who love me true

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
Oh, you're the one I'm calling

Do not touch the Columbine
Just leave it there in the sun
It'll fade right in your hand
Now see what you have done

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little love
Oh, you're the one I'm calling
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'll see you one day

I'll see you someday
