The Red River Valley Lyrics

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

CHORUS:

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 gong 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

CHORUS

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
