From this valley they say you are going
E
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
A A7 D
For they say you are taking the sunshine
A E A
that has brightened our path for a while
A E A
Come and sit by my side if you love me
E
do not hasten to bid me adieu
A A7 D
But remember the Red River Valley
A E A
and the cowboy who loved you so true
A E A
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
E
oh how lonely how sad it will be
A A7 D
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking
A E A
and the grief you are causing to me
A E A
Come and sit by my side if you love me
E
do not hasten to bid me adieu
A A7 D
But remember the Red River Valley
A E A
and the cowboy who loved you so true
A E A
As you go to your home by the ocean
E
may you never forget those sweet hours
A A7 D
That we spent in the Red River Valley
A E A
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers
A E A
Come and sit by my side if you love me
E
do not hasten to bid me adieu
A A7 D
But remember the Red River Valley
A E A
and the cowboy who loved you so true
