Lyrics:

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 brighten our pathway a while

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 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

Then come and sit by my side...
