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 path for 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

　　Won't you think of the valley you're leaving

　　Oh how lonely, how sad it will be?

　　Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking

　　And the grief you are causing to me

　　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 path for a while

　　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 mid the flowers

　　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 path for a while
