Shady Grove is an Appalachian folk song that bears some resemblance to the English ballad “Matty Groves.” Although its verses have hundreds of variations, its origin is most likely as a courting song:Cheeks as red as a blooming rose,Eyes of the prettiest brown, She’s the darling of my heart, The sweetest girl in town.
