From this valley, they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our path for a while
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 girl that has loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh, how lonely, how sad it will be
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
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 girl that has loved you so true
I have promised you darling that never
Will a word from my lips cause you pain
And my life, it will be yours forever
If you only will love me again
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 girl that has loved you so true
