Lyrics:

I woke up late last night Alone as I could be Searching for my Shady Grove She was not next to me Walked along these moonlit streets Searched them up and down Came upon old William’s house The bedroom light was one Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove I say Shady Grove, my little love I’m bound to go away My heart it pounded through my chest Not knowing what I’d find Could it be old William Bell Was lying with my wife Crept along his gravel drive Crawled through his front yard Looked and saw my Shady Grove Wrapped up in his arms I jumped and turned around Through his door I run Back into his bedroom It was there I drew my gun I shot once, and he shot twice My shot hit his side His first shot made sure I fell The second, sure I died “Lord oh Lord have mercy on me” Cried little Shady Grove “Lord have mercy on these men, Both whom I do love”

Lyrics:

No matter what I do, I know you’re keeping tabs Everything I say goes into that mental notebook you have And I don’t think it’s fair, but I don’t have a choice Oh, it’s just the way my cards keep fallin’ And if I were to go, I know you’d be upset But everything I am can be purchased or created again And I don’t think it’s fair, I’m so easily replaced But it’s just the way I’ve been evolving (chorus) Give me ten million more years I’ll grow scales and claws and steel jaws Watch my weak heart disappear We’ll go excavating for my fossil tears Take it down a notch, with you it’s hard to breath Every time we talk I’m always disagreeing to agree And I don’t think it’s fair, but that’s the way it is Oh, it’s just the way my cards keep fallin’ If I were to go, I know you’d be upset I know how I made you feel in bed and you’d want it again And I don’t think it’s fair, but that’s the way we live Oh it’s just the way I’ve been evolving

Lyrics:

I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance x2 Don’t want no courting suitors knocking at my door Don’t want no Romeo to make me wonder wherefore (wherefore…) I want you to love me, honey, and move in with me Save up a little money, find ourselves a place by the sea (the sea…) I ain’t got the time to be wined and dined I'm tired of lovin' you in ol' black and white Not saying we oughta get married or settle down But we’ve got a good thing going, why mess it up now? Why make the same decisions our parents made? These times they are a-changing, let’s make our own mistakes (mistakes…) Who’s got the time nowadays? Let’s bring our love into the modern age ?I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance (romance…)

Lyrics:

Red wine and sunshine has got me feeling nice I know it’s Sunday and I am okay with taking my own advice Conversation’s getting blurred I put my head into my hands ... all I know is this not so ... The whole world is coming undone but don’t to tie yourself a little bun ... (incomprehensible) I know it’s Sunday and I am okay with taking my own advice
