We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet [D]smile.

G                     D           G   
From this valley they say you are going,   
                                         D   
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.   
        G                        C   
For they say you are taking the sunshine,   
         D                     G   
That has brightened our pathway a while.   

G D G Come and sit by my side if you love me, D Do not hasten to bid me adieu, G C But remember the Red River Valley, D G And the one who has loved you so true.

G D G I've been thinking a long time, my darling, D For those sweet words you never would say, G C But, alas! all my fond hopes have vanished, D G For they say you are going away. Won't you think of the valley you're leaving? Oh, how lonely and sad and it will be! Won't you think of the fond heart you're breaking And the pain you are causing to me? Chorus 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. Chorus
