G5                     D5           G5 
From this valley they say you are leaving, 
                                         D5 
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile. 
        G5                        C5 
For you take with you all of the sunshine, 
         D5                     G5 
That has brighten our pathway awhile. 

Refr?o -------------

Then come sit by my side if you love me, 
                          D5 
Do not hasten to bid me a due. 
       G5                    C5 
Just remember the red river valley, 
        D5                         G5 
And the cowboy thats loved you so true.

G5                  D5            G5 
For a long time my darling I've waited, 
                                   D5 
For the sweet word you never would say. 
       G5                           C5 
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished, 
         D5                    G5 
For they say that your going away.
