A5

          A5           E5           A5
From this valley they say you are going,
                                        E5
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
         A5                      D5
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
         A5              E5          A5
that has brightened our path for a while

         A5         E5           A5
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         E5
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      A5                    D5
But remember the Red River Valley,
        A5          E5            A5
and the cowboy who loved you so true

          A5            E5             A5
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,
                                E5
oh, how lonely, how sad it will be?
    A5                              D5
Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking,
        A5             E5          A5
and the grief you are causing to me

         A5         E5           A5
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         E5
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      A5                    D5
But remember the Red River Valley,
        A5          E5            A5
and the cowboy who loved you so true

       A5          E5           A5
As you go to your home by the ocean,
                                 E5
may you never forget those sweet hours
        A5                      D5
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
        A5         E5               A5
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers

         A5         E5           A5
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         E5
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      A5                    D5
But remember the Red River Valley,
        A5          E5            A5
and the cowboy who loved you so true
