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        
and the cowboy that loved you so 
   D
true.

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

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

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