[Introduction]
G7 C
[Verse 1]
C F C
I see a candlelight down in the little green valley
G7 C
Where Morning Glory vines are twining round my door
C F C
Oh how I wish I were there again, down in the little green valley
G7 C
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more
F C
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
C G7
And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday
C F C
And every night down upon my knees, I pray the Lord to please take me
G7 C
Back to that little old green valley far away
[Instrumental]
G7 C
[Verse 2]
C F C
I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley
G7 C
He's singing out a song of welcome just for me
C F C
And someone waits by the garden gate, down in the little green valley
G7 C
When I get back again how happy she will be
F C
And by a little babbling brook once more we'll wander
C G7
And in a shady nook we'll dream the hours away
C F C
And I will leave all my cares behind, go where I know I'll find sunshine
G7 C
Back to that little old green valley far away
