Red River Valley

G                       D7            G  
From this valley they say you are leaving 
                                          D7  
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile 
         G               G7           C     
For you take with you all of the sunshine 
          D7                       G     
That has brighten our pathway a while 
 
                    D7            G    
Come and sit by my side if you love me 
                         D7   
Do not hasten to bid me adieu 
      G              G7          C   
Just remember the Red River Valley  
         D7                         G   
And the cowboy that loved you so true 
 
                    D7             G  
For a long time my darling I've waited  
                                     D7  
For the sweet words you never would say 
        G             G7                C    
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished 
          D7                      G    
For they say that you're going away 
 
                    D7            G    
Come and sit by my side if you love me 
                         D7   
Do not hasten to bid me adieu 
      G              G7          C   
Just remember the Red River Valley  
         D7                         G   
And the cowboy that loved you so true
