G D G
From this valley they say you are going
D
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
G C
For you take with you all of the sunshine
D G
That has brightened our pathway awhile
Then come sit by my side if you love me
D
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
G C
Just remember the red river valley
D G
And the cowboy that's loved you so true
G D G
For a long time my darling I've waited
D
For the sweet word you never would say
G C
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
D G
For they say that you're going away
