D (6)
From this valley they say you are going
A7 (2)
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
D (2) G (2)
For they say you are taking the sunshine
A7 (2) D (2)
That has brightened our pathways awhile
Chorus: D (6) Come and sit by my side, if you love me A7 (2) Do not hasten to bid me adieu D (2) G (2) Just remember the Red River Valley A7 (2) D (2) And the cowboy who loved you so true |
D (6)
I’ve been thinking a long time, my darling
A7 (2)
Of the sweet words you never would say
D (2) G (2)
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
A7 (2) D (2)
For they say you are going away
CHORUS
D (6)
They will bury me where you have wandered
A7 (2)
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
D (2) G (2)
When you’re gone from the Red River Valley
A7 (2) D (2)
For I can’t live without you I know
CHORUS
