G                           
From this valley they say you are going 
                                        D 
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile 

G                    G7         C 
For they say you are taking the sunshine 

         D                       G 
That has brightened our pathways awhile 


 
[Refrão]
        G 
Come and sit by my side, if you love me 

                        D 
Do not hasten to bid me adieu 

       G          G7        C 
Just remember the Red River Valley 

        D                       G 
And the cowboy who loved you so true 



          G 
I've been thinking a long time, my darling 

                                   D 
Of the sweet words you never would say 

       G           G7             C 
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish 

         D                 G 
For they say you are going away 

Chorus

          G 
They will bury me where you have wandered 

                                   D 
Near the hills where the daffodils grow 

            G             G7        C 
When you're gone from the Red River Valley 

      D                        G 
For I can't live without you I know 

Chorus
