From this valley they say you are leaving
I wll miss your brown eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That lightened my way for a while.

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
And remember the Red River Valley
And the boy who has loved you so true.

Always think of the valley you're leavin'
Oh, how lonesome and sad it will be
And then think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are bringing to me.

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
And remember the Red River Valley
And the boy who has loved you so true...
