Red River Valley
Red River Valley
From this valley they say you are leaving
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while
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 one who has loved you so true
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
Do you think of the valley you're leaving?
Oh, how lonely, how drear it will be
Do you think of the kind heart you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me?
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 one who has loved you so true
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the vows we exchanged 'mid the bowers
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 one who has loved you so true
