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
pathway awhile
CHORUS:
Come and sit my my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me
adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the one who has loved
you so true
Won’t you think of this valley you’re leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be
Oh think of the fond heart that you’re breaking
And the grief that you’re causing me (chorus)
