Marty Robbins - The Little Green Valley lyrics

rate me

I see a candlelight down in the little green valley

Where Morning Glory vines are twining 'round my door

Oh, how I wish I were there again

Down in the little green valley

That's where my homesick heart will trouble me no more.

There's only one thing ever gives me consolation

And that's the thought that I'll be going back someday

And ev'ry night down upon my knees

I pray the Lord to please take me

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.
