SHADY GROVE [4]. American, Reel (whole or cut time). USA; north Georgia. A Mixolydian (Spadaro): G Mixolydian (Rosenbaum): G Major (Johnson). AEae or Standard tunings (fiddle). AABB.

Shady Grove, sugar Betty Ann,
Shady Grove I say,
Shady Grove, sugar Betty Ann,
Bound to leave this place.

Shady Grove's a pretty little girl,
Mighty hard to please;
She went to sleep by herself one cold night,
And I hope, by jinks, she'll freeze. ..... [Rosenbaum/Bruce]
