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 brightened our pathways a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me a-dieu
But remember the red river valley
And the cowboy that loved you so true
I have wait a long time my darling
For the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say you're going away
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me a-dieu
But remember the red river valley
And the cowboy that loved you so true
