Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are leaving

Gonna miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That brightens pathways awhile



So come and sit by my side, if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

And remember that Red River Valley

And the cowboy that loved you so true



But if you truly do love me

And you meant it truer than true

Then why are you leaving this valley

And making my heart so blue



Well somewhere the sky is sunny

There is blue sky all about

But in Mudville it is raining

For the might Casey struck out



So come and sit by my side, if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

And remember that Red River Valley

And the cowboy that loved you so true
