1                   4                                     
I see a candlelight down in the little green valley
              5                                1
where Morning Glory vines are twining round my door.
1
Oh, how I wish I were there again
4                        1
down in the little green valley.
                5                                 1
That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more.

             4                            1
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
                                                   5
and that's the thought that I'll be going back someday.
          1
And every night down upon my knees 
4                         1
I pray the Lord to please take me
             5                            1
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.


This is how I remember my parents singing this song many years ago.  If
