Red River Valley

From this valley, they say you'll be goin'

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you'll be takin' the sunshine

That has brightened my pathway a while

Come and sit by my side if you need me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loved you so true

I have waited a long time, my darling

For those sweet words you never would say

Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished

Though you say you'll be going away

Come and sit by my side if you need me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loved you so true
