From this valley they tell me you're going I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For you take with you all of the sunshine That has brightened my life for a while Just come sit here awhile here you leave me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And the girl that has loved you so true ♪ I have waited a long time, my darling For the words that you never would say But at last, my fond hopes have all vanished For they tell me you're going away Just come sit here awhile here you leave me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And the girl that has loved you so true ♪ When you're far from the scenes of the valley And they tell me your journey is through Will you think of the Red River Valley And the girl that has loved you so true Just come sit here awhile here you leave me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And the girl that has loved you so true
