Introduction:
E A E
I saw a candle light down in the little green valley
B7 E
Where morning glory vines are twining round my door
Oh how I wish I were there again
A E
Down in the little green valley
B7 E
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more
A E
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
A E
I pray the Lord to please take me
Back to that little green valley far
E
away...
E A E
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
B7 E
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
And someone waits by the garden gate
A E
Down in the little green valley
B7 E
When I get back again, how happy she will be
A E
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
B7 E
Back to that little green valley far away
