The lyrics from the Sleepy Hollow Hog Stompers performance are as follows;

(Chorus)
Shady grove, my true love,
Shady grove, my honey,
Shady grove, my true love,
Bound for shady grove.

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...

When I was a little boy,
My mama told me,
If I never kissed a girl,
My lips would grow all mouldy.

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...

When I was a little boy,
I wanted a whittlin' knife,
Now I am a great big boy,
I want a little wife.

Chorus...

Wish I had a banjo string,
Made of golden twine,
Every time I play on it,
I wish that girl was mine.

Chorus...
