Key: G
Introduction:
G D G
From this valley they say you are leaving,
D
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
G C
For you take with you all of the sunshine,
D G
That has brighten our pathway awhile.
Then come sit by my side if you love me,
D
Do not hasten to bid me a due.
G C
Just remember the red river valley,
D G
And the cowboy thats loved you so true.
G D G
For a long time my darling I've waited,
D
For the sweet word you never would say.
G C
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished,
D G
For they say that your going away.
