Red River Valley

AO Folksong - APRIL 2023

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 awhile

Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and dreary ’twill be
Do you think of the fond hearts you're breaking
And the sadness you’ve cast over me

CHORUS
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 one who has loved you so true

I have waited a long time my darlin’
For the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished
For they tell me you’re goin’ away

As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged with the flowers
