Red River Valley

Key: G

Introduction:

G  
From this valley they say you are going
                                                                                                          D  
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
G                                                    G7                      C  
For they say you are taking the sunshine
                        D                                                            G  
That has brightened our pathways awhile
                        G  
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
                                                                D  
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
                  G                         G7                    C  
Just remember the Red River Valley
                     D                                                            G  
And the cowboy who loved you so true
                          G  
I've been thinking a long time, my darling
                                                                                             D  
Of the sweet words you never would say
                  G                            G7                                 C  
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
                        D                                            G  
For they say you are going away
Chorus
                          G  
They will bury me where you have wandered
                                                                                             D  
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
                                G                                 G7                    C  
When you're gone from the Red River Valley
                D                                                              G  
For I can't live without you I know
Chorus
