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.
