Red River Valley

E                     B7          E 
From this valley they say you are going, 
                                       B7 
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile. 
         E           E7         A 
For they say you are taking the sunshine, 
         B7                    E 
That has brighten our pathway awhile. 

Chorus: 
E                  B7          E 
Come and sit by my side if you love me, 
                          B7 
Do not hasten to bid me a due. 
       E          E7        A 
Just remember the red river valley, 
        B7                      E 
And the hobo thats loved you so true. 

E                  B7             E 
For a long time my dear I've been waiting, 
                                     B7 
For those words that you never would say. 
       E           E7              A 
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished, 
         B7                  
For they say you are going away.
