[G] _ _ _ _ From this valley they say you are going.
_ We will miss your bright eyes [D] and sweet smile.
For [G] you take with you all [C] of the sunshine
_ _ that has [D] brightened our life for [G] a while.
_ Then come sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bend me [Am] a dear.
_ [G] But remember the Red [C] River Valley _ _
[D] and the cowboy that loved [G] you so true.
_ For a long time my darling I've waited
_ _ for those sweet words you never [D] would say.
_ But [G] alas all my fond [C] hopes have vanished
_ and [D] they say you are going [G] away.
_ _ Will you think of the valley you're leaving?
_ Oh how lonely and dreary [Am] it will [D] be.
_ Will [G] you think of the fond [C] heart you're grieving
_ _ and the pain you are causing [G] to me?
Then come sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bend [Am] me a dear.
_ _ [G] But remember the Red [C] River Valley _ _
and the [D] cowboy that loved [G] you so true.
_ I have promised you darling that never
_ will a word from my lips cause [Am] you [D] pain.
And [G] my life it will be [C] yours forever _
_ if [D] you only will love [G] me again.
_ _ Must the past with its joys all be blighted
by the future of sorrow [D] and pain?
_ Must [G] the vows that were spoken [C] be slighted?
_ [D] Don't you think you can love me [G] again? _ _
There never could be such a longing _
_ in the heart of a poor [D] cowboy's breast
_ [G] As dwells in the heart you [C] are breaking _ _
[D] as I wait in my home [G] in the _ west.
Then come sit by my side if you love me.
_ Do not hasten to bend me [Am] a dear.
_ _ [D] But remember the Red [C] River Valley _
_ and [D] the cowboy that loved you
