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 darlin'

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
