Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine That brightened our pathway a while.

Come and sit by my side, if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu. But remember the Red River Valley and the girl that has loved you so true.

I have promised you, darling, that never Shall the words from my lips cause you pain, And I swear I will love you forever If you only will love me again.

G · C / G · G / E7 · A7 / D7 · G / G7 · C · G / D7 · G

I've been thinking a long time, my darling, of the sweet words you never would say. Now alas! must the fond hopes all vanish? For they say you are going away.
