Shady Grove from Singles by The Implicit Order
Shady Grove is an 18th century folk song popular in the United States. It is a standard in the repetoire of folk, Celtic and bluegrass musicans. In most traditional versions, the melody is in a minor key. However, Bill Monroe's and some subsequent bluegrass versions use a major-key variation.
Many verses exist, most of them describing the speaker's love for a woman called Shady Grove. There are also various choruses, which refer to the speaker traveling somewhere (to Harlan, to a place called Shady Grove) or simply 'away'. Some have said that there have been over 300 stanzas written and added as variations.
