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

For a long long time I've been waiting.
All those sweet words you never would say.
But now everybody has told me.
That you're a-going away.
Come and sit by my side, if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley.
And the boy that has loved you so true.
