Marty Robbins - The Little Green Valley Lyrics

Marty we love you keep use going

i want this played at me funeral

Good ol central Texas, my little green valley

I think he’s talking about Little Green Valley outside of payson AZ

My favorite album of all time, spent many times daydreaming of being a gunfighter while listening to this

This may sound silly, but i would have to point to the romantic imagery in this song reinforced my notion of being a heterosexual. It was hearing this song as a child that was the revelation moment that some day i wanted a woman and all the non-sense that comes with her! A woman is a good thing! :)

No one will see this, but I grew up just Southeast of Tucson the Rincon Valley, in the morning shadow of the mountains. It is a place that I long for every day that I am not there. This song always brings a few drops down my cheek.

My body may roam, but my heart will always be in that "little green valley."

This reminds me of vault 21 in New Vegas

Superb ajbum

anybody else here because of Jack Rackam

Fantastic song from marty the greatest singer ever just love him thanks for this great post

This must be how heaven in the west feels like

I grew up in a "Little Green Valley" in Arizona just a few miles Southeast of Tucson. It is heaven, friend. I promise.

I wanna take my whole life back and become a Arizona ranger, but I'm only thief and a cheat

Mt grandparents, they like nothing hut this type of stuff even like 80s country is shit to them unless its an old artist lol

They sound like pretty close-minded people.

@Wyatt Murdoch you should meet my Christian parents. If they haven't heard of it it's satanic.

Lyrics:
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.

This is a good life

Make absolute sure that this song is playing if you EVER ride through Tucson, AZ

Why Gage?

Gage Karschnik whys that?

Just go one time and you'll know. Otherwise, it's like jazz - if you have to ask you'll never know!

I grew up just SouthEast of Tucson down Old Spanish Trail, in the small pocket of the Rincon Valley. You may know where I mean, by the big green barn on the side of the road. This song makes me think of home and I often tear up.

one of top 10 albums ive ever known of , absolute masterpiece

Agreed. I grew up listening to Marty. Thanks Dad. :-)
