Creeks risin muddy and rough Purple pansies drownin they ain't so tough Rusty blue chevy off the shoulder of the road Nobody wants her cause she's so damned old I been sittin here for hours with a shiver in my bone People seekin shelter down on Hoodoo Road I'm wrapped up tight in my granny mom's quilt Worried bout this house that my granddaddy built Shady Grove gonna blow Ain't no place to go Yeah Shady Grove gonna blow Yeah you better get yourself low Ain't nothin to fear we're in the presence of the Lord Ride the wind home seekin heaven's reward
Run down to the graveyard you tell all your kin River rises up we'll be together again Shady Grove gonna blow Ain't no place to go Yeah Shady Grove gonna blow Yeah you better get yourself low Ain't nothin to fear we're in the presence of the Lord Ride the wind home seekin heaven's reward Run down to the graveyard you tell all your kin River rises up we'll be together again Shady Grove gonna blow Ain't no place to go Yeah Shady Grove gonna blow Yeah you better get yourself low
