Shady Grove (j J Cale) Lyrics

Down the road, and up the hill

 Round the bend, and behind the mill

 When just a kid I used to go

 To a place called Shady Grove

 

 That is where I first met her

 She changed my life with one just one word

 She called it love but I don't know

 I call it goin' down to Shady Grove

 

 Shady Grove, Shady Grove

 In the middle of Shady Grove

 

 Sometimes we'd steal away at night

 All the same the feel was right

 There was no city, there was no town

 'Cause Shady Grove was all around

 

 We'd just lay down look up and see

 The vast expanse of the old, old tree

 When our love had turned to lust

 Shady Grove would cover us

 

 Shady Grove, Shady Grove

 In the middle of Shady Grove

 

 No one would ever come by

 We were young and very shy

 It seemed to wrap around us both

 The place we called Shady Grove

 

 Not long ago to my surprise

 I seemed to have two ____ ___ ___

 I went back to that same old spot

 The trees were gone - it's a parking lot

 

 Shady Grove, Shady Grove

 In the middle of Shady Grove
