Verse

G
 Every time I go that road… it looks so dark and cloudy
                            D                G
Every time I see that gal I  always tell her  howdy

Chorus

G
 Shady Grove pretty little miss Shady Grove my darling
                               D                  G
Shady Grove pretty little miss  I’m going back to  Harlan

Verse

How old are you my pretty little miss… how old are you my honey
How old are you my pretty little miss… I’ll be sixteen next Sunday

Verse

First time I saw Shady Grove she was standing in the door
Shoes and stocking in her hand and her little bare feet on the floor

Verse

I wish I had a big fine horse… And corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home..  And feed him when I'm gone

Verse

Wish I had a needle and thread as fine as I could sew
I’d sew that pretty girl to my side and down the road I go.

Verse

A kiss from pretty little Shady Grove is sweet as brandy wine
And there ain’t no girl in the whole wide world thats prettier than mine.
