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's brightened our pathways awhile

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 girl who loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time my darling

Of the sweet words you never would say

Now I know all my fond hopes will vanish

For they say you are going away

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 girl who loved you so true

They will bury me where you have wandered

Near the hills where the daffodils grow

'Cause when you're gone from the Red River Valley

'Cause I can't live without you you know

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 girl who loved you so true

And the girl who has loved you so true
