D                                 G
From this valley they say you are going
        D                               A
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
          D          D7         G

And the cowboy who loved you so true.

Oh how lonely, how sad it will be.

Oh think of the fond hearts you're breaking
         D           A          D
And the pain you are causing to me.

Do not hasten to bid me adieu.

And the cowboy who loved you so true.

As you go to your homme by the ocean

May you never forget those sweet hours

That we spent in the Red River Valley

And the love we exchanged mid the flowers.

Do not hasten to bid me adieu.

Just remember the Red River Valley
        D           A           G  D
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
