F C7 F
From this valley they say you are going
C7
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
F F7 Bb
For they say you are taking the sunshine
C7 F
That has brightened our pathway awhile
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 cowboy who loved you so true
Far so long now my dear I've been waiting
For those words that you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For today you are going away
Instrumental break
Won't you think of this valley you're leavin'
And how lonely and sad it will be
Won’t you think of the heart you are breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
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 cowboy who loved you so true
additional verses from Powder River Jack
I have promised you, darling, that never
Would a word from my lips cause you pain
I have promised to be yours forever
If you will only love me again
Oh there never should be such a longing
Such an anguish and pain n the breast
As dwells in the heart of a cowboy
Where I wait in my home in the West
So bury me out on the prairie
Where the roses and wildflower grow
Lay me to sleep by the hillside
For I can’t live without you I know.
