|
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
|
|
CHORUS
