Red River Valley lyrics

From this valley they say you are going,

I shall miss your sweet eyes and your smile,

Just because you are weary and tired

You are changing your range for a while.

I've been thinking a long time, my darling,

Of the sweet words that you never would say,

Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish?

For they say you are going away.

Then come sit in a while and you leave us,

Do not hasten to bid thus adieu,

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loved you so true.

I have promised you, darling, that never

Will the words from my lips cause you pain,

And my life, it will be yours forever,

If you only will love me again.

There never could be such a longing

In the heart of a poor cowboy's breast

And as dwells in the heart you are breaking

As I wait in my home in the West.

Then come sit in a while and you leave us;

Do not hasten to bid thus adieu,

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loved you so true.
