Lyrics
Shady Grove
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beyond this maze of city streets
Beyond these painted faces
There's a road that leads to cool green fields
And girls that dress in laces
Everyone has a front porch swing
Every house a parlour
When the throat is dry an’ parched with thirst
There's more than just spring water
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan
Chestnut hair in the mornin’ sun
Looks like it’s catchin’ on fire
She's long, she's lean, she won't run
She fills me with desire
Kentucky eyes look up at me
From a bed of yellow daisies
The sun is warm, her kiss is hot
She's gonna drive me crazy
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan
