Pretty Little Miss

(Emory Gordy - Patty Loveless)



Shady grove, pretty little miss

Shady grove my darlin

Shady grove, Pretty little miss

Goin back to Harlan.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, the boys all call me pretty little miss

It don't ever phase me

But everytime he calls my name

It nearly drives me crazy.



Shady grove, retty little miss

Shady grove my darlin

Shady grove, pretty little miss

Goin back to Harlan.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, we'll 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
