Shady grove, my little miss
Shady grove, my little miss
Shady grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan
Shady grove, my little miss
She fills me with desire
The sun is warm, her kiss is hot
Shady grove, my little miss
Shady grove, my darlin'
And girls who're dressed in laces
When the float is dry, watch me thirst
Come with me to Harlan
She's known to drive me crazy
Shady grove, my darlin'
There's more than just spring water
Shady grove, my little miss
Everyone has a front porch swing
From a bed of yellow daisies
Kentucky, I could go back in
Shady grove, my little miss
Every house a parlor
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my darlin'
Shady grove, my little miss
She's long, she's lean, she won't run
Come with me to Harlan
There's a road that leads to cool green fields
Looks like glittering fire
Just sittin' here in the mornin' sun
