about

Shady Grove" originates from the "Matty Groves," a traditional ballad from the British Isles variously identified as English or Scottish in origin, and dating to at least the seventeenth century. The song appears as "Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard" in Francis James Child's anthology of ballads. The song traveled to the southern Appalachians around the time of the American Civil War and subsequently gained popularity. Many variants (up to 300 stanzas) exist.]

lyrics

'went to see my little shady grove she was standin in the door, shoes and stocking in her hand, bare feet on the floor'
