From this valley they say you are leavin' Oh, I'll miss your blue eyes and sweet smile And I know you'll be takin' the sunshine That has lightened my path for a while Come and sit by my side till you're leavin' Do not hasten to bid me adieu And remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy that loved you so true When you think of the loved ones that you're leavin' And the words that I never could say Just remember that I also love you Although you may have learned it too late So come sit by my side little darlin' Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And this cowboy that loved you so true
