I see a candlelight down in the little green valley

Where Morning Glory vines are twining 'round my door

Oh, how I wish I were there again

Down in the little green valley

That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more.



There's only one thing ever gives me consola-tion

And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday

And ev'ry night down upon my knees

I pray the Lord to please take me

Back to that little old green valley far a-way.



I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley

He's singing out a song of welcome just for me

And someone waits by the garden gate

Down in the little green valley

When I get back again, how happy she will be.



And by a little babbling brook, once more we'll wander

And in a shady nook, we'll dream the hours away

And I will leave all my cares behind

Go where I know I'll find sunshine

Back to that little old green valley far away.
