Shady Grove Lyrics

Shady Grove lyrics

Beyond this maze of city streets  

 Beyond those painted faces  

 There's a road that leads to cool green fields  

 & girls who're dressed in laces  

 Everyone has a front porch swing  

 Every house a parlor  

 When the float is dry, watch me thirst  

 There's more than just spring water  

  

 CHORUS:  

 Shady Grove, my little miss  

 Shady Grove, my darlin'  

 Shady Grove, my little miss  

 Come with me to Harlan  

  

 Just sittin' here & the mornin' sun  

 Looks like glittering fire  

 She's long, she's lean, she won't run  

 She fills me with desire  

 Kentucky, I could go back in  

 From a bed of yellow daisies  

 The sun is warm & her kiss is hot  

 She's known to drive me crazy  

  

 (chorus x3
