Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are leaving

We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For you take with you all of the sunshine

That has brighten our pathway a while

Then come, sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the red river valley

And the cowboy that loved you so true

For a long time, my darling, I've waited

For the sweet words you never would say

Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished

For they say that you're going away

Then come, sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the red river valley

And the cowboy that loved you so true
