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 consolation 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 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
