Pretty Little Miss

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

Well, the boys all call me pretty little miss
It don't ever phase me
But every time he calls my name
It nearly drives me crazy

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

Momma says he's not my type
He really loves another
But he's gonna marry me
When I turn twelve this summer

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

Well, well paint and powder curl my hair
The day he came a callin'
He ran off with my older sis
And I commenced to squallin'

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

Oh spring has sprung, summers gone
The fall is quickly fadin'
I guess I'll spend my winter months
A sad and lonely maiden

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