As recorded by JAMES MELTON:
When my day of toil is over
Light at heart, I hurry over
To the train that takes me down
To a little country town
Lights are shining in the valley
In a place called Sleepy Valley
Angels picked the little spot
Where I built my little cot
Just a cosy rest, sweet and heaven blessed
Like a bluebird's nest in Sleepy Valley
Love is everywhere, happiness is there
In my old armchair in Sleepy Valley
All of my troubles, cares of the day
Like silver bubbles drifting away
Roses round the door, babies on the floor
Who could ask for more in Sleepy Valley
(Orchestral Interlude)
All of my troubles, cares of the day
Like silver bubbles drifting away
Roses round the door, babies on the floor
Who could ask for more in Sleepy Valley
Sleepy Valley

As recorded by MILDRED HUNT:
Everybody loves a fireside
Picture sitting by a fireside
In a cosy little home
You can call your very own
There's a place called Sleepy Valley
Let's go down to Sleepy Valley
Angels picked this little spot
Where we built our little cot
Just a cosy rest, sweet and heaven blessed
Like a bluebird's nest in Sleepy Valley
Love is everywhere, happiness is there
Love beyond compare in Sleepy Valley
All of my troubles, cares of the day
Like silver bubbles drifting away
Roses round the door, babies on the floor
Who could ask for more in Sleepy Valley
(Orchestral Interlude)
All of my troubles, cares of the day
Like silver bubbles drifting away
Roses round the door, little babies on the floor
Who could ask for more in Sleepy Valley
