From this valley they say you are leaving



We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile



For you take with you all of the sunshine



That has brightened our pathway a while.



 



 # Then come set by my side if you love me



Do not hasten to bid me adieu.



Just remember the Red River Valley



and the cowboy that loved you so true.



 



For a long time my darling I've waited



for the sweet words you never would say



Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished



For they say that you're going away.
