Michael Murphy - Red River Valley lyrics

FROM THIS VALLEY THEY SAY YOU ARE LEAVING

WE WILL MISS YOUR BRIGHT EYES

AND SWEET SMILE

FOR THEY SAY YOU WILL TAKE ALL THE SUNSHINE

THAT HAS BRIGHTENED OUR PATHWAYS AWHILE...

THEN 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..

FOR A LONG TIME, MY DARLING, I'VE WAITED

FOR THE SWEET WORDS YOU NEVER WOULD SAY

NOW, ALAS,MUST MY FOND HOPES ALL VANISH..

FOR THEY SAY YOU ARE GOING AWAY..

DO YOU THINK OF THE VALLEY YOU'RE LEAVING

O HOW LONELY AND DREARY IT WILL BE..

AND DO YOU THINK OF THE KIND HEARTS YOU'RE BREAKING

AND THE PAIN YOU ARE CAUSING TO ME

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

THEN 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....
