Shady Grove
(P. O. Wands)

I used to walk on the city streets
Now I've wandered far and wide
And I never found my happiness
Til I moved to the country side
Now follow me for a quiet day
Out ridin on the trails
Away from smog 'n' traffic clog
Where all the pigs have tails

Out in shady grove
It's Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Yeah


If you've been watchin the city streets
You can't see em get much greener
Then I know where we're goin to
Our heads will feel much cleaner

In Shady Grove my true love
Shady Gove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

How long have we been wantin t' do
Live in love with ease
It's easy t' know who you are
When you're livin with the trees
Out in Shady Grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove
Where it's always sunny

The yellow video playing along with the audio is, uh, oh, some old psychedelic thing, a sub genre from a band probably long forgotten, they were called Sgt. Marine or something like that, I think, one of the songs of theirs that got FM radio airplay was about smoking beatles or roaches or peppers or something like that to get high...

Support the music! The Quicksilver Messenger Service audio CD "Shady Grove" is available and can be found on Amazon.

Or hear Quicksilver Messenger Service live in concert! Gary, David, Linda, & company put on a hell of a show!

I've reposted this in a high bitrate version because of the improvements in sound and video on YouTube since my original attempt at squeezing out stereo sound. Really though, you don't want to download this, you should go buy a Quicksilver Messenger Service CD, or a Tee shirt, or something. Even better, see a live show! Gary Duncan, Linda Imperial & David Freiberg can still rock your head!

What's with the Beatles crap?

Excellent song, tho.

QMS one of the greats of the 60s.

[aurora1957A]

lol... what, you don't like mixing your psychedelics?

;)

[SyvetheShairks]

It's not that..... I've been off the Beatles for a long time now.

Keep up the good work!

[aurora1957A]

I'm a big QMS fan myself.. especially with Cipollina on board..

:)

I swear Nicky Hopkins was the best studio pianist. He played on the Airplane's album "Volunteers" - check it out

[1mredneckmother]

All of old timers are dieing off but we all yearned for the shady groves of which Quicksilver sang! Man these guys rocked! Loving it! Does radio play music like this anymore? Shouldn't it? Seems to me the whole freaking thing is just messed up. I got Lib Leftists telling me to embrace Gays, but I embrace women, wine, God and rock and roll songs!

@yieldyieldyield

Not to overlook 'Gimme Shelter'. The stones might not still be around without a little help from ol' Nick!

[jmtappenden]

thanks,thanks,thanks.

@magicdog200 it is really good audio, but you can get it even better, add ' &fm=18 ' to the url and put your headphones on.
