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
pathways awhile
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you
so true
I've been thinking a long time,
my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond
hopes all vanish
For they say you are going away
Do you think of the valley
you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind
hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
They will bury me where
you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils
grow
When you're gone from the
Red River Valley
For I can't live
without you I know
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
