Популярная народная американская песня XVIII века "Shady Grove" в исполнении "Among the Oak & Ash"
ТекстShady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.
I wish I had a piece of thread as fine as I could sew,
I'd sew much love to my side,
and down the road I'd go.
Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.
Cheeks as red as a blooming rose,
eyes of the deepest pearl.
You are the true love in my life,
stay until the sun goes down.
Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I say.
Oh, shady grove my little love,
don't wait for the judgement day.
Wish I had a banjo string made of golden twine.
Every tune that I would play,
"I wish that girl was mine."
Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love.
I'm bound for the shady grove.
And if I had a watch of gold on a silver chain,
I'd count the hours to the day I'd see my love again.
Shady grove, my little love
shady grove I know.
Shady grove my little love,
I'm bound for the shady grove.
Shady grove, my little love,
shady grove I say.
Oh, shady grove my little love,
dont wait for the judgement day.
