"Red River Valley" lyrics

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 awhile

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the one who loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
For they say you are gong away

Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the one who loved you so true
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the red river valley
And blagh blagh woods

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the one who loved you so true
