Red River Valley 

G                     D           G  
From this valley they say you are leaving,  
                                         D  
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.  
        G                        C  
For you take with you all of the sunshine,  
          G              D       G  
That has brighten our pathway awhile.  

  
G                   D           G 
Then come sit by my side if you love me,  
                          D   
Do not hasten to bid me a due.  
       G                    C  
Just remember the red river valley,  
         G              D          G  
And the cowboy thats loved you so true. 
  

G                  D            G  
For a long time my darling I've waited,  
                                   D    
For the sweet word you never would say.  
       G                           C  
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,  
          G                   G  
For they say that your going away.  
  

G                   D           G 
Then come sit by my side if you love me,  
                          D   
Do not hasten to bid me a due.  
       G                    C  
Just remember the red river valley,  
          G           D            G  
And the cowboy thats loved you so true.
