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 »

Chorus:
Shady Grove, my little love, Shady Grove, I know. Shady Grove, my little love, bound for Shady Grove. (Last time: Bound for Shady Grove. (Right on over to Lonesome Traveler)

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.

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)

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

I traveled in the mountains and in the valleys, (Repeat twice)
Well, I've been a-travelin' on.

I traveled cold and then I traveled hungry, well (Repeat twice)
I've been a-travelin' on.

Hey, one of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelin', well (Repeat twice)
Stop all this travelin' on.

I'm gonna keep right on a-travelin' on that road to freedom (Repeat twice)
Well, I've been a-travelin' on.
