1. From the valley they say you are leaving
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened my life for a while

2. 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

3. From the valley they say you are leaving
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened my life for a while

4. I've been waiting a long time my darling
For the sweet words you never say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say you are going away

5. O there never could be such a longing
In the heart of a poor cowboy's breast
That now dwells in the heart you are breaking
As I wait in my home in the west

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

7. As you go to your home 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
