Red River Valley      

          C   

From this valley they say you are going

        C                                                       G7

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

                C                                 F   

For they say you are taking the sunshine

               C                      G7            C   

That has brightened our path for a while

Refrain:

         C   

Come and sit by my side if you love me

             C                         G7

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

         C                                   F   

But remember the Red River Valley

               C                  G7                C   

And the cowboy who loved you so true

I am the lord of the [D7]dance, said he
And I [G] lead you all, wherever you may be
And I [D7]lead you all in the [G]dance, said he
