Shady Grove, pretty little miss, shady grove my darlin.
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, goin back to Harlen.
Well the boys all call me pretty little miss,
And it dont ever phase me
But everytime he calls my name
It nearly drives me crazy
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, shady grove my darlin
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, goin back to Harlen
Mama says he's not my type,
He really loves another
But he's gonna marry me
When I turn 12 this summer
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, shady grove my darlin
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, goin back to Harlen
Well....well, Paint and powder, Curled my hair
The day he came a callin'
He ran off with my elder sis
And I commenced to squallin'
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, shady grove my darlin
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, goin back to Harlin
Oh spring has sprung, summers gone
Fall is quickly fadin'
Guess I'll spend my winter months
A sad and lonely Maiden
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, shady grove my darlin
Shady Grove, pretty little miss, goin back to Harlin...
