Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile They say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our pathway awhile Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loves you so true I've been thinking a long time, my darling Of those sweet words you never would say Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished They say you are going away Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loves you so true
