  3    4   5   5   -4   4   -4  4  -3b 4

From this val-ley they say you are go-ing,

 3   4    5    4    5      6   -5   5     -4

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile,

 6   -5   5   5   -4  4   -4  5   6   -5

For they say you are tak-ing the sun-shine

-3b  -3b   3     -3   4  -4   5  -4  4

That has bright-ened my path for a-while.

(b=bend)

 

  3   4   5   5 -4   4  -4  4   -3b  4

Come and sit by my side if you love me.

 3  4    5   4  5  6  -5 5  -4

Do not hast-en to bid me a-dieu.

 6  -5  5   5   -4  4  -4  5   6   -5

But re-mem-ber the Red Ri-ver Val-ley.

-3b -3b  3  -3   4    -4   5  -4   4

And the cow-boy who loves you so true.

 

 

  3    4    5    5  -4  4   -4   4     -3b  4

Won't you think of the val-ley you're leav-ing?

 3  4    5   4   5   6  -5   5  -4

Oh how lone-ly, how sad it will be?

 6  -5    5  5   -4    4    -4     5  6  -5

Oh think of the fond heart you're break-ing

-3b -3b   3    -3  4   -4   5  -4  4

And the grief you are caus-ing to me.

 

 

 3  4   5  5  -4    4  -4  4  -3b  4

As you go to your home by the  o-cean,

 3   4   5  4   5   6    -5    5    -4

May you nev-er for-get those sweet hours

  6  -5   5    5  -4  4   -4  5  6   -5

That we spent in the Red Riv-er Val-ley

-3b -3b   3  -3  4   -4     5   -4    4

And the love we ex-changed mid the flowers.
