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, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish, 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 Do you think of the valley you're leaving, Oh how lonely and drear it will be, Do you think of he 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
