Green Valleys was written by someone I used to know . - Glen Reid from Smith Falls Ontario. I have not seen him in years. The song was recorded by Olive Bayle. Glen had never been in Ireland but heard a lot of us talking about the place so he sat down aand wrote "GREEN VALLEYS"

2nd verse It hurts me to think of the things I left behind Though the famine has blackened the land And to look now for something that I may never find Is a problem thats now close at hand.

3rd verse The fever is raging and the wind has died away And this journey will no longer be For the plague is a shadow that lingers night and day Warmer thoughts of green valleys I see.
