I often seen people put sheets on the floor with a really big font
size (no one can really see the flat paper on the floor); instead of
the entire lyric they put the first word or two which would be enough
to remember the rest of the line
You can put the sheets in those plastic protectors to keep them from
blowing around or moving
i.e. for Shady grove
Peaches
Apples
banjo string
golden twine
needle and thread
sew
barlow knife
etc...
