G         D7               G
    From this valley thay say,  You are leaving
              G                               D7
    We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
             G            G7            C
    For you take with you all of the sunshine
                 D7            D        G
    That has brightened our pathway a while

 [CHORUS]

               G         D7          G
    Then come sit by my side if you love me
             G                D7
    Do not hasten to bid me, Adieu
            G         G7          C
    Just remember the Red River Valley
              D7           D           G
    And the cowboy thats loved you so true

 [VERSE]

           G             D7           G
    For a long time my darling, I've waited
              G                          D7
    For the sweet words, You never would say
            G            G7                C
    Now at last, All my fond hopes have vanished
             D7                 D    G
    For they say, That you're going away

 [CHORUS]

               G         D7          G
    Then come sit by my side if you love me
             G                D7
    Do not hasten to bid me, Adieu
            G         G7          C
    Just remember the Red River Valley
              D7           D           G
    And the cowboy thats loved you so true
