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