Shady Grove (Trad)

Chorus:

Shady grove my little miss

Shady grove my darlin

Shady grove my little miss

Goin back to Harlan

 

Well, coffee grows on white oak trees

The river flows with brandy

The rocks on the hills all covered with gold

And the girls are sweeter than candy

 

Chorus:

Shady grove my little miss…

 

Well every time I walk that road

It’s always dark and cloudy

Every time I see that gal

I always tell her howdy

 

Chorus:

Shady grove my little miss…

 

Well I went down to shady grove

She asked me in for supper

I stumped my toe on the table leg

And I run my nose in the butter

 

Chorus:

Shady grove my little miss…

 

Well her 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

 

Chorus:

Shady grove my little miss…
