Red River Valley

1. From this valley they say you are going

I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

for they say you take with you the sunshine

that has brightened my pathway a while.

R: Come and sit by my side if you love me

do not hasten to bid me adieu

out remember the Red River Valley

and the cowboy who loved you so true.

2. It's a long time now I've been waiting

for those words that you never will say

and it's now that my fond heart is breaking

for they say you are going away.

R:

3. When you go to your home o'er the ocean

may you never forget the sweet hours

that we spent in the Red River Valley

and the love we exchanged midst its bowers.

R:
