Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my dear
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Fourteen miles of mountain road
And fifteen miles of sand
If I'm ever on this road again
It'll be to the promised land
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Last time I went to Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I don't get to Shady Grove
Won't go nowhere at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm going back to Harlan
