Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm goin' back to Harlan
Coffee grows on the white oak tree
The river flows with brandy
The rocks on the hills are covered with gold
And the girls are sweeter than candy
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm goin' back to Harlan
I wish I was an apple
Hangin' on the tree
Every time that little girl passed
She'd take a bite of me
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm goin' back to Harlan
Every time I go 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 darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm goin' back to Harlan
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
I'm goin' back to Harlan
