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 
A                          E 
Go where I know I'll find sunshine 
 
              B7                 N.C.     E 
Back to that little green valley far away
