A           E           A 
From this valley they say you are going 
                                        E 
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile 
         A           A7         D 
For they say you are taking the sunshine 
         A              E          A 
that has brightened our path for a while 

         A         E           A 
Come and sit by my side if you love me 
                         E 
do not hasten to bid me adieu 
      A          A7        D 
But remember the Red River Valley 
        A          E            A 
and the cowboy who loved you so true 

          A            E             A 
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving 
                                E 
oh how lonely how sad it will be 
    A            A7                D 
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking 
        A             E          A 
and the grief you are causing to me 

         A         E           A 
Come and sit by my side if you love me 
                         E 
do not hasten to bid me adieu 
      A          A7        D 
But remember the Red River Valley 
        A          E            A 
and the cowboy who loved you so true 

       A          E           A 
As you go to your home by the ocean 
                                 E 
may you never forget those sweet hours 
        A            A7        D 
That we spent in the Red River Valley 
        A         E               A 
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers 

         A         E           A 
Come and sit by my side if you love me 
                         E 
do not hasten to bid me adieu 
      A          A7        D 
But remember the Red River Valley 
        A          E            A 
and the cowboy who loved you so true
