From this valley they say you are going
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our path for 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 one who has loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad I will be?
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to 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 who has loved you so true
