Red River Valley

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