From this valley they say you are going
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway 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 girl who had loved you so true.
For such a long time I have waited
For the sweet words you never would say
Now alas all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say you are going away.
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 cowgirl that loved you so true.
Then 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 cowgirl that loved you so true.
And the cowgirl that loved you so true.
