[Additional Verses]
[Verse]
Dm C
Wish I had a glass of wine
Dm
And bread and meat for two
F C
I'd set it out on a golden plate
C Dm
And I'd give it all to you
[Verse]
Dm C
Peaches in the summertime
Dm
Apples in the fall
F C
If I can't have little Shady Grove
C Dm
I don't want no gal at all
[Verse]
Dm C
If I had a needle and thread
Dm
As fine as I can sew
F C
I'd sew my pretty girl to my side
C Dm
And down the road we go
