The Black Crowes Follow

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose<br />
Follow it down to the shady grove<br />
Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door<br />
No two lovers could ask for more<br />
<br />
So grab your fiddle and your old banjo<br />
Play a country blues so sweet and slow<br />
We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom<br />
And rock all night by the silvery moon<br />
<br />
These old trees grow straight to heaven<br />
So it goes in the shady grove<br />
<br />
When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold<br />
Our fine buck skin dances through the snow<br />
We'll take to town on a Saturday night<br />
You and me baby make such a sight<br />
<br />
Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure<br />
So it goes in the shady grove<br />
<br />
Hey boys, gather round<br />
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down<br />
Hey boys, rockabye<br />
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye<br />
<br />
Hey boys, up on high<br />
Don't you stop 'til you reach the sky<br />
Hey boys, let it ring<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
<br />
When the fish start biting at the new mayflies<br />
The muddy roads have all done dried<br />
The honeysuckle says it's summertime<br />
That old yellow sun is mighty kind<br />
<br />
Hear the seasons come with reasons<br />
So it goes in the shady grove<br />
<br />
Hey boys, up on high<br />
Don't you stop 'til you reach the sky<br />
Hey boys, let it ring<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
<br />
Won't you be my lullaby, babe?<br />
In the sweet bye and bye, babe<br />
It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by<br />
And know I'll always love you, babe<br />
<br />
Hey boys, gather round<br />
I'll put it up and they'll tear it down<br />
Hey boys, rockabye<br />
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye<br />
<br />
Hey boys, up on high<br />
Don't you stop 'til you reach the sky<br />
Hey boys, let it ring<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
A song for everyone to sing<br />
A song for everyone to sing
