Red River Valley
Marty Robbins
From this valley, they say, you are leaving
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
They say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
I’ve been thinking a long time, my darlin’
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, all my fond hopes must vanish
They say you are going away
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
