[Verse 1] (Starts at 0:39
          E                       E
From this valley they say you are going,
       E                               B7
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
         E**         E7**       A
For they say you are taking the sunshine,
         B7                        E
that has brightened our path for a while.
 
[Chorus]
         E                     E
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
       E                 B7
do not hasten to bid me adieu.
      E**        E7**      A
But remember the Red River Valley,
        B7                   E
and the cowboy who loved you so true.

[Verse 2]
           E                          E
I've been thinking a long time, my darling,
          E                             B7
of those sweet words you never would say.
       E**          E7**             A
Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished,
      B7                 E
they say you are going away.
 
[End-Chorus]
         E                     E
Come and sit by my side if you love me,
       E                 B7
do not hasten to bid me adieu.
      E**        E7**      A
But remember the Red River Valley,
        B7                   E
and the cowboy who loved you so true.
