Red River Valley

54.  Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are leaving

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened our pathway a while.

*Chorus:

Come and sit by my side if you love me/

Do not hasten to bid me adieu.

 But remember the Red River valley

And the heart that has loved you so true.

Please come back to the Red River Valley.

Please come back to a heart that is true.

I will be here in the Red River Valley.

I’ll be waiting, my darling, for you.

I have waited a long time, my darling.

For the words that you never would say.

Now I know that my dreams are all ended.

Because I know that you are going away.
