red river valley

From this valley they say you are going,
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
for they say you are taking the sunshine
that has brightened our pathways a while.

Chorus:

Come and sit by my side if you love me,
do not hasten to bid me adieu
but remember the Red River Valley
and the cowboy who loved you so true.

It's a long time now I've been waiting,
for those words that you never will say.
and it's now that my fond heart is breaking,
for they say you are going away.



When you go to your home o'er the ocean
oh, remember the many happy hours
that you spent in the Red River Valley
and the love we exchanged midst its bowers.

(american cowboy song)
