Intro :
Eb
 
          Eb          Bb          Eb
From this valley they say you are going,
                                        Bb
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
         Eb          Eb7        Ab
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
         Eb             Bb         Eb
that has brightened our path for a while
 
         Eb        Bb          Eb
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         Bb
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      Eb         Eb7       Ab
But remember the Red River Valley,
        Eb         Bb           Eb
and the cowboy who loved you so true
 
          Eb           Bb            Eb
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving,
                                Bb
oh, how lonely, how sad it will be?
    Eb           Eb7               Ab
Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking,
        Eb            Bb         Eb
and the grief you are causing to me
 
         Eb        Bb          Eb
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         Bb
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      Eb         Eb7       Ab
But remember the Red River Valley,
        Eb         Bb           Eb
and the cowboy who loved you so true
 
       Eb         Bb          Eb
As you go to your home by the ocean,
                                 Bb
may you never forget those sweet hours
        Eb           Eb7       Ab
That we spent in the Red River Valley,
        Eb        Bb              Eb
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers
 
         Eb        Bb          Eb
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
                         Bb
do not hasten to bid me adieu
      Eb         Eb7       Ab
But remember the Red River Valley,
        Eb         Bb           Eb
and the cowboy who loved you so true
