The Red River Valley

From this valley, they say you are leavin'
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are takin' the sunshine
That brightens our pathway 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 cowboy that loves you so true

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving?
Oh, how lonely, how sad it will be
Yes, and think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to me to see

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 that loves you so true

As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged amidst the flowers

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 that loves you so true
