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

 Every time I walk this road
 It’s always dark and cloudy
 Every time I see that girl
 I always tell her howdy
 

 If you see my little miss
 If you see my darling
 If you see my little miss
 Tell her I’m going to Harlan
