Red River Valley

Red River Valley - Michael Martin Murphey

From this valley they say you are going

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

They say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened our pathways awhile

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 cowboy who loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time my darling

Of the sweet words you never would say

Now alas must my fond hopes all vanish

They say you are gong away

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 cowboy who loved you so true
