Red River Valley

1. 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 lightened my days for a while.

2. They say I’m a lonesome, hard working cowboy,
Who once met you on a dusty wagon trail,
If you leave me, I’ll write you a letter,
Sending my love on the Pony Express mail.

3. Come and sit by my side before leaving,
Do not hesitate to say: I love you,
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the cowboy who loved you so true.

4. Come and sit by my side before leaving,
Do not hesitate to say: I love you,
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
