Montage: The Everly Family (1952)/Shady Grove/Kentucky

Dad Everly:
“We hope you folks have enjoyed our programme and you know we not - we’re gonna do one now, an old time toe tapper. So everybody get your partners and before we start this you know I wanna say: it was awful nice folks, to be with you. I hope you enjoyed it and until next time this is Dad Everly speaking for the Everly family. Mum, Don, baby boy Phil saying so long to you folks and thank you for listening.”

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin'
Shady Grove, my little miss
Come with me to Harlan

[Verse]
Chestnut hair in the mornin' sun
Looks like it's catchin' on fire
She's long, she's lean, she won't run
She fills me with desire
Kentucky eyes look up at me
From a bed of yellow daisies
The sun is warm, her kiss is hot
She's gonna drive me crazy

[Chorus]
Shady Grove, my little miss
Shady Grove, my darlin’… (fade out)

[Verse]
Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasin’ coon

[Verse]
I know that
My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
Kentucky
I will be coming soon
