Red River Valley (Album Version) - Gene Autry

From this valley they say you are going

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened our path for a while

Do you think of the valley you're leavin'

Oh how lonely and dreary it will be

Do you think of the fond heart you're breakin'

And the sadness you've cast over me

For a long time my dear I've been waiting

For the words that you never would say

And alas my poor heart you are breakin'

For they tell me you're goin' away

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

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 one that has loved you so true
