EAE
I saw a candle light down in the little green valley
B7E
Where morning glory vines are twining round my door
Oh how I wish I were there again
AE
Down in the little green valley
B7E
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more
AE
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
B7
And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday
E
And every night down upon my knees
AE
I pray the Lord to please take me
Back to that little green valley far
E
away...
EAE
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
B7E
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
And someone waits by the garden gate
AE
Down in the little green valley
B7E
When I get back again, how happy she will be
AE
And by a little babbling brook once more we'll wander
B7
And in a shady nook we'll dream the hours away
E
And I will leave all my cares behind
AE
Go where I know I'll find sunshine
B7 N.C. E
Back to that little green valley far away
