Pretty Little Miss

(Emory Gordy, Jr./Patty Loveless)
 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 call 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
 Mama 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, paint and powder, curled 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, summer's gone
 Fall is quickly fadin'
 Guess I'll spend my winter months
 A sad and lonley maiden
 Shady Grove, pretty little miss
 Shady Grove, my darlin'
 Shady Grove, pretty little miss
 Goin' back to Harlan
