From this valley they say you are going. I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile. For they say you are taking the sunshine, That has brightened our pathway a while.
So come 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 has loved you so true.
For a long time, my darlin, Ive waited For the sweet words you never would say Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished For they say that youre 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 thats loved you so true.
