Red River Valley
by James Kerrigen in 1896

I / / / | IV / / / | I / / / | V / / / |
I / / / | IV / / / | V / / / | I / / / |

From this valley they say you are going   We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine  That has brightened our path for a while

chorus: Come and sit by my side if you love me   Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley   And the cowboy who loved you so true

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving  Oh how lonely, how sad it will be?
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking     And the grief you are causing to me
