Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

for I know you are taking the sunshine

That has lighten my pathway awhile

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me a -dieu

But remember the red river valley

And the one that has 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 if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me a -dieu

Just remember the red river valley

And the one who has loved you so true.
