Red River Valley

G                     D           G
From this valley they say you are going
                                         D
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
        G                        C
For you take with you all of the sunshine
         D                     G
That has brightened our pathway awhile

Then come sit by my side if you love me
                          D
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
       G                    C
Just remember the red river valley
        D                         G
And the cowboy that's loved you so true

G                  D            G
For a long time my darling I've waited
                                   D
For the sweet word you never would say
       G                           C
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
         D                    G
For they say that you're going away
