From this valley they say you are leaving Oh, I'll miss your blue eyes and sweet smile And I know you'll be taking the sunshine That has lightened my path for a while Come and sit by my side till you're leaving 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 you're leaving 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 darling Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And this cowboy that loved you so true
