Well, I see a candlelight down in the little green valley
Where the mornin' glory vines are windin’ 'round my door
Oh, how I wish I were there again down in the little green valley
And my homesick heart I know would trouble me no more
There's only one thing ever gives me consolation
That’s a dream that I'll be goin' back someday
And every night down upon my knees, I pray the Lord to please take me
Back to that little old green valley far away
Well, I hеar a whippoorwill down in the little green valley
And it seems hе's singin' out a welcome there for me
Well, down by the garden gate there's a little gal waiting
When I return to her, how happy she will be
And by the babbling brook, once again we'll wander
And in some shady nook, we'll pass the hours away
And I will leave all my cares behind, go where I know I’ll find sunshine
Back in that little old green valley far away
There’s only one thing ever gives me consolation
That's a dream that I’ll be goin' back someday
And every night down upon my knees, I pray the Lord to please take me
Back to that little old green valley far away
