Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going, We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine, That has brightened our pathway a while. Come and sit by my side if you love me, Do not hasten to bid me adieu. Just remember the Red River Valley, And the hobo that's loved you so true. For a long time my dear, I've been waiting, For those words that you never would say. Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished, For they say you are going away. Chorus Won't you think of this valley you're leaving, And how lonely and sad it will be? And think of the heart that you're breaking And the grief you are causing me. Chorus
