Red River Valley   


4     -4   5   5   5   5   -4  5   -4  4  
From this valley they say you are leaving,  

4    -4    5    4    5      6   -5   5    -4     
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.  

 6   -5  5    5   -4   4  -4  5   6   -5 
For you take with you all of the sunshine,  

 5   -4   4    4    5  -4   5  -4  4 
That has brighten our pathway awhile.  


 4     -4   5   5  5  5   -4  5  -4   4  
Then come sit by my side if you love me,  

4  -4  5   4   5  6  -5 5  -4     
Do not hasten to bid me a due.  

6    -5  5  5  -4  4  -4  5  6  -5 
Just remember the red river valley,  

5   -4   4   4   5    -4   5   -4  4 
And the cowboy thats loved you so true.

For a long time my darling I've waited,  

4   -4    5    4    5   6 -5  5    -4     
For the sweet word you never would say.  
    
6   -5  5    5  -4  4    -4    5    6   -5 
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,  
     
5   -4   4    4   5   -4   5 -4  4 
For they say that your going away.

Then come sit by my side if you love me,  

4    -4    5    4    5      6   -5   5    -4     
Do not hasten to bid me a due.
