The Little Green Valley

Carson Robison.

Longer Version

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.
