Red River Valley

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 brightens our pathway the while

Come sit here a while ere you leave us
Do not hasten to bid us adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves 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

Come sit here a while ere you leave us
Do not hasten to bid us adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true

There never could be such a longing
In the heart of a poor cowboy's breast
As dwells in the heart you are breaking
As I wait in my home in the West

Come sit here a while ere you leave us
Do not hasten to bid us adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true
