Red River Valley

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 brightens our pathway a while

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

But remember the Red River Valley

And the girl that has loved you so true

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving?

Oh, how lonely, how sad it will be

Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking

And the grief you are causing me

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

But remember the Red River Valley

And the girl that has loved you so true

I have promised you, darling, that never

Will a word from my lips cause you pain

And my life, it will be yours forever

If you only will love me again

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

But remember the Red River Valley

And the girl that has loved you so true
