Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway a while

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 cowboy who loves you so true

The coyotes will howl all around me
While so sadly I strum my guitar
As I pour out the love I must vanquish
Into the mirage of a star

Will you think of this valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely and dreary it will be
Do you think of this kind heart your breaking
And the pain that you are causing me
