The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

Lips as red as the bloomin' rose,
Eyes of the deepest brown,
You are the darlin' of my heart
Stay 'til the sun goes down.

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

I went to see my Shady Grove standin' by the door,
Shoes and stockings in her hand
Little bare feet on the floor.

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove

I wish'd I had a big fat horse,
Corn to feed him on,
Pretty little girl to stay at home,
You feed him when I'm gone

Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove
Bound for Shady Grove

Well, (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
I am a lonely and a lonesome traveler
I've been a-travelin' on

I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys,
I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys
I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys
Well, I've been a-travelin' on

I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry
I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well
I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well
I've been a-travelin' on

Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelin', well
One of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelin', well
One of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelin'
Stop all this travelin' on

I'm gonna keep right on a-travelin' on that road to freedom
I'm gonna keep right on a-travelin' on that road to freedom
I'm gonna keep right on a-travelin' on that road to freedom
Well, I've been a-travelin' on
