Blood on the Saddle - Little House in the Valley Lyrics

In the days when I was young
Going out, having fun
There's a place I used to know
Where I never more can go

A little house in the valley
Where the girl I love used to live

I can see her standing there
Blue eyes, blonde hair
Picture her so clear
In my memory so dear
Oh, I long to lay my head
Once again, on her bed
One more time, that I did rest
With her pressed to my chest

In a little house in the valley
Happiest days of my life, I did spend

I used to dream she'd be my bride
Forever by my side
I'd get a job, a place to live
All my love to her, I'd give
But it wasn't meant to be
She could never be with me
Still I wish and hope and pray
We'll be together again, some day

In a little house in the valley
I knew happiness with my old girlfriend

One of these days when I am gone
When I've sung my last song
May my spirit finally rest
In the place I love best

In a little house in the valley
The happiest days of my life I did spend
In a little house in the valley
How I wish those days were here again
