"Shady Grove" lyrics

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan

Well, coffee grows in white oak trees
The river flows with brandy
The rocks on the hills are covered in gold
And girls are sweeter than candy

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan

Well, very time I walk that road
It's always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that girl
I always tell her howdy

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan

Well, I went down to Shady Grove
She asked in for supper
Stubbed my toe on the table leg
And I rubbed my nose in the butter

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan

Well, cheeks are red as a bloomin' rose
Her smile is always sunny
She's the darling of my heart
I love her better than honey

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darling
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm going back to Harlan
