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 pathways awhile

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the ONE who loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time my darling

Of the sweet words you never would say

Now alas must my fond hopes all vanish

For they say you are gong away

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 pathways awhile

I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
