From this valley they say you are goin' I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For they say you are takin' 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 old boy that loved you so true Far along by my dear I've been waiting For those words that you never would say But at last all my fond hopes have vanished For to day, you are going away 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 old boy that loved you so true Won't you think of this valley you're leavin' And how lonely and sad it will be And think of the heart that you are breakin' And the grief that you are causing 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 old boy that loved you so true
