Shady Grove (Major)

NC
Shady Grove my little miss
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little miss
Goin’ back to Harlan

1
Well coffee grows on white oak trees
4
The river flows with brandy
1
The rocks on the hills all covered with gold
5 1
And the girls are sweeter than candy

Shady Grove my little miss
Shady Grove my darlin’
Shady Grove my little miss
Goin’ back to Harlan

Well every time I walk that road
It’s always dark and clody
Every time I see that gal
I always tell her howdy

Well I went down to Shady Grove’s
She asked me in for supper
Stubbed my toe on the table leg
And rubbed my nose in the butter

Her cheeks are red as a bloomin’ rose
Her smile is always sunny
She’s the darlin’ of my heart
I love her better than honey
