RED RIVER VALLEY
Red River Valley
From this G valley they say you are leaving,
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet D7 smile,
For you G take with you all G7 of the C sunshine,
That has G brighten our D7 pathway a G while.
1. 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 brighten our pathway a while.
2. 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 that loved you so true.
3. For a long time my darling I’ve waited,
For the sweet words you never would say,
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,
For they say that you’re going away.
4. 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 that loved you so true.
