From this valley they say you are leavin' oh I'll miss your blue eyes and sweet smile
And I know you'll be takin' the sunshine that has lightened our path for a while
Come and sit by my side till you're leavin' do not hasten to bid me adieu
And the Red River Valley and the cowboy that loved you so true
[ steel ]
When you think of the love that you're leavin' and the words that I never could say
Just that I also love you although you may have learned it too late
So come sit by my side little darlin' do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just the Red River Valley and this cowboy that loved you so true
