For you take with you all of the sunshine, that has brightened our pathway a while. Then come sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me adieu, just remember the red river valley, and the cowboy that's loved you so true. For a long time, my darlin', I've waited, for the sweet words you never would say. Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished, for they say that you're going away. Then come sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me adieu, just remember the red river valley and the cowboy that's loved you so true.
