Peaches in the summertime

Apples in the fall

If I can't have the one I love

I won't have none at all

Shady grove my little love

Shady grove my darling

Shady grove my little love

I'm going back to harlan

Cheeks as red as the blooming rose

Eyes of the prettiest brown

You are the darling of my heart

Love me when the sun goes down

Shady grove my little love

Shady grove my darling

Shady grove my little love

I'm going back to harlan

Fly around my pretty little dove

Fly around my daisy

Fly around my pretty little love

About to drive me crazy

Shady grove my little love

Shady grove my darling

Shady grove my little love

I'm going back to harlan

Some come here to fiddle and dance

Some come here to tarry

Some come here to fiddle and dance

I come here to marry

Shady grove my little love

Shady grove my darling

Shady grove my little love

I'm going back to harlan

Shady grove my little love

Shady grove my darling

Shady grove my little love

I'm going back to harlan
