RED RIVER VALLEY

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

DO YOU THINK OF THE VALLEY YOU'RE LEAVING?
O HOW LONELY AND HOW SAD IT WILL BE
DO YOU THINK OF THE KIND HEARTS YOU'RE BREAKING?
AND THE SADNESS YOU HAVE PASSED OVER ME

FOR A LONG TIME MY DEAR WE'LL BE WAITING
FOR THE WORDS THAT YOU NEVER WOULD SAY
AND THE LAST MIGHTFUL HEART YOU ARE BREAKING
FOR YOU TELL ME YOU'RE GOING AWAY
