Red River Valley

Red River Valley - Glenn Yarbrough

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

That has brightened

Our pathways a while

Come and sit by

My side if you love me

Do not hasten

To bid me a dieu

Just remember

The red river valley

And the one

Who has loved you so true

Have thinking a long time

My darling

I've the sweet words

You never would say

Now at last all

My fond hopes have vanished

For they say

You're going away

Won't you think of the valley

You're leaving

Oh how lonely

How sad it will be

Do you think of the kind heart

You're breaking

And the grief you are

Causing to me

Please come and sit

By my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me a dieu

Just remember the red river valley

And the cause has loved you so true
