Lyrics
Red River Valley
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
Which has brightened our path for a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the girl who has loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley that you're leaving
Oh how lonely, and sad it will be?
Oh think of the fond heart you are breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
I have promised you darling that never
Would word from my lips cause you pain
And my life it will be lost forever
If you'll only would love me again
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the girl who has loved you so true
