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 has brightened our pathways awhile

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

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving?
O how lonely, how sad I will be
O think of the found heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
