Lyrics:

From this valley they say you are going,
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
That has brightened our pathway awhile,

Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the one that has loved you so true,

Far along by my dear I've been waiting,
For those words that you never would say,
But at last all my fond hopes have vanished,
For today, you are going away,

Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the one that has loved you so true,

Won't you think of this valley you're leavin',
And how lonely and sad it will be,
And think of the heart you are breakin',
And the grief that you are causing me,

Come and sit by my side if you love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
Just remember the Red River Valley,
And the one that has loved you so true.
