|
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 every 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 |
