^GFrom this valley they ^Dsay you are ^Ggoing, I will miss your bright eyes and sweet ^Dsmile. For they ^Gsay you are ^G7taking the ^Csunshine, That has ^Gbrighten our ^Dpathway a^Gwhile. Chorus: ^GCome and sit by my ^Dside if you love^G me, Do not hasten to bid me a ^Ddue. Just re^Gmember the ^G7red river ^Cvalley, And the ^Gcowboy that ^Dloved you so ^Gtrue. ^GFor a long time my ^Ddear I've been wai^Gting, For those words that you never would ^Dsay. Now at ^Glast all my ^G7fond hopes have ^Cvanished, For they ^Gsay you are^D going a^Gway. Chorus: ^GCome and sit by my ^Dside if you love^G me, Do not hasten to bid me a ^Ddue. Just re^Gmember the ^G7red river ^Cvalley, And the ^Gcowboy that ^Dloved you so ^Gtrue. ^GWon't you think of this ^Dvalley your lea^Gving, And how lonely and sad it will ^Dbe. And ^Gthink of the ^G7heart that your ^Cbreakin, And the ^Ggrieve that^D you are causing ^Gme. Chorus: ^GCome and sit by my ^Dside if you ^Glove me, Do not hasten to bid me a ^Ddue. Just re^Gmember the ^G7red river ^Cvalley, And the ^Gcowboy that ^Dloved you so ^Gtrue.
