Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are leaving
 We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
 For you take with you all of the sunshine
 That has brightened our pathway a while
 Then come sit by my side if you love me
 Do not hasten to bid me adieu
 Just remember the Red River valley
 And the cowboy that's loved you so true
 For a long time, my darlin', I've waited
 For the sweet words you never would say
 Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
 For they say that you're going away
 Then come sit by my side if you love me
 Do not hasten to bid me adieu
 Just remember the Red River valley
 And the cowboy that's loved you so true

 Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
 For they say that you're going away
