[by:IMMHA Lyrics Library IMMHA-L337]

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

[Chorus]

Do you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely and dreary it would be
Do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me

[Chorus]
