I see a candlelight down in the little green valley
A7 D
Where Morning Glory vines are twining 'round my door
A7 D
Oh, how I wish I were there again
G D
Down in the little green valley
A7 D
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more.
G D
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
A7
And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday
D
And ev'ry night down upon my knees
G D
I pray the Lord to please take me
A7 D
Back to that little old green valley far away.
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.
