Love this song. Sang it tonight at full volume. Thought I would compile the lyrics for fun. [Gotta love the immediacy of the internet!]<\/p>\n
Red River Valley<\/b><\/p>\n
From this valley they say you are going
\nWe will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
\nFor they say you are taking the sunshine
\nThat has brightened our pathways awhile<\/p>\n
CHORUS:
\nCome and sit by my side, if you love me
\nDo not hasten to bid me adieu
\nJust remember the Red River Valley
\nAnd the cowboy who loved you so true<\/p>\n
I’ve been thinking a long time, my darling
\nOf the sweet words you never would say
\nNow, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
\nFor they say you are gong away<\/p>\n
Do you think of the valley you’re leaving
\nO how lonely and how dreary it will be
\nOh, and think of the dear heart you’re breaking,
\nAnd the grief that you’re causing me<\/p>\n
From this valley they say you are going,
\nWhen you go, may your true love go, too?
\nWould you leave me behind abandoned?
\nWhen I love no other but you?<\/p>\n
I have promised you, darling, that never
\nWill a word from my lips cause you pain;
\nAnd my life, it will be yours forever
\nIf you only will love me again<\/p>\n
As you go to your home by the ocean
\nMay you never forget those sweet hours
\nThat we spent in the Red River Valley
\nAnd the love we exchanged mid the flowers<\/p>\n
They will bury me where you have wandered
\nNear the hills where the daffodils grow
\nWhen you’re gone from the Red River Valley
\nFor I can’t live without you I know<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
