Red River Valley
(arranged by Arlo Guthrie, adapted by Joe Henry and Lisa Hannigan)
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile
CHORUS:
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 cowboy 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 going away
CHORUS
They will bury me where you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
When you re gone from the Red River Valley
For I can t live without you I know
CHORUS
