Down in the Little Green Valley [German translation]

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.
