Red River Valley

                    D
Then come sit by my side if you love me,
                                           A
do not hasten to bid me adieu.
              D                 D7             G
Just remember that Red River Valley,
               A                 A7                 D
and the cowboy that loved you so true.

                     D
    Well, they tell me, my dear, that you're going,
                                                                  A
    I will miss your bright eyes and your smile,
                  D                D7              G
    for with you you are taking the sunshine,
                     A                  A7             D
    that has brightened my life for a while.

                       D
    When  you go to your home by the ocean,
                                                             A
    may you never forget those sweet hearts,
                    D                 D7            G
    that we spent in that Red River Valley,
                  A                 A7                      D
    and the love we exchanged with the flowers.

                 D
    I have waited a long time, my darling,
                                                                 A
    for those words that you never would say.
                D                 D7                   G
    And at last, oh, my poor heart is breaking,
                  A                    A7        D
    for they tell me you're going away.
