From this v[F]alley they s[C]ay you are g[F]oing;
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet [C]smile,
For ala[F]s you take w[F7]ith you the s[Bb]unshine
That has b[F]rightened my [C7]pathway a-w[F]hile
[REFRAIN]
Come and s[F]it by my [C]side if you [F]love me.
Do not hasten to bid me a[C]dieu.
But r[F]emember the R[F7]ed River V[Bb]alley
And the g[F]irl who has l[C7]oved you so [F7]true.
2)
For this l[F]ong, long [C]time I have[F] waited
For the words that you never would [C]say,
But now [F]my last [F7]hope has [Bb]vanished
When they [F]tell me that you're [C7]going [F]away.
3)
Oh there [F]never could [C]be such a [F]longing
In the heart of a white maiden's [C]breast
As there i[F]s in the [F7]heart that is [Bb]breaking
With l[F]ove for the[C7] boy who came[F] west.
[REFRAIN]
Come and s[F]it by my [C]side if you [F]love me.
Do not hasten to bid me a[C]dieu.
But r[F]emember the R[F7]ed River V[Bb]alley
And the g[F]irl who has l[C7]oved you so [F7]true.
4)
Will you t[F]hink of the v[C]alley you're [F]leaving?
Oh, how lonely and dreary 'twill[C] be!
Will you t[F]hink of the [F7]fond heart you're [Bb]breaking
And be [F]true to your [C7]promise to [F]me?
5)
The dark [F]maiden's [C]prayer for her [F]lover
To them spirit that rules o'er the [C]world
His [F]pathway with [F7]sunshine may [Bb]cover,
Leave his [F]grief to the [C7]Red River [F]Girl.
[REFRAIN]
Come and s[F]it by my [C]side if you [F]love me.
Do not hasten to bid me a[C]dieu.
