So:
DmPeaches in the sCummertime,
DmApples in the Dmfall,
FIf I can't get the Cgirl I love,
DmWon't have Cnone at Dmall.
Chorus:
DmShady grove, mCy true love,
DmShady grove, IDm know,
FShady grove, Cmy true love,
I'm Dmbound for the Cshady gDmrove.
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl were mine
[chorus]
Wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go
[chorus]
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
[chorus]
Every night when I go home
My wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
[chorus]
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my Daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Nearly drive me crazy
