          C           G           C
From this valley they say you are going,
                                        G
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
         C           C7         F
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
         C              G          C
that has brightened our path for a while
 
         C         G           C
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         G
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      C          C7        F
But remember the Red River Valley,
        C          G            C
and the cowboy who loved you so true
 
          C            G             C
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,
                                G
oh, how lonely, how sad it will be?
    C            C7                F
Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking,
        C             G          C
and the grief you are causing to me
 
         C         G           C
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         G
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      C          C7        F
But remember the Red River Valley,
        C          G            C
and the cowboy who loved you so true
 
       C          G           C
As you go to your home by the ocean,
                                 G
may you never forget those sweet hours
        C            C7        F
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
        C         G               C
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers
 
         C         G           C
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         G
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      C          C7        F
But remember the Red River Valley,
        C          G            C
and the cowboy who loved you so true
