Bill Monroe Shady Grove Lyrics

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Coffee grows on the white oak tree
The river flows with brandy
The rocks on the hills are covered with gold
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

I wish I was an apple
Hangin' on the tree
Every time that little girl passed
She'd take a bite of me

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

Every time I go that road
It's always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that girl
I always tell her howdy

Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Goin' back to Harlan

If I had no horse at all
I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
A-looking for my darling

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I love
I won't have none at all

Higher up the cherry tree
Riper grow the cherries
The sooner you begin to court
The sooner you will marry
