From this valley they say you are leaving I will miss your brown eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine that lightened my way for a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me do not hasten to bid me adieu
And remember the Red River Valley and the boy who has loved you so true
Always think of the valley you're leavin' oh how lonesome and sad it will be
And then think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grieve you are bringing to me
(Come and sit by my side
