Lyrics
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 going away.
Do you think of the valley you’re leaving?
Oh, how lonely and dreary ’twill be!
Do you think of the kind hearts you’re breaking
?
And the pain you are causing to me.
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.
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
