Well, we have a number here that I think it's one of our best sellers.
It's not a bad old song.
[E] As a matter of fact, I think it's one of the earliest of all the American folk songs ever [C] written.
[Am] And as [N] I've told our country audiences in our travels all over Australia,
if we look around us, we find that we have folk songs here in Australia just the same as any other country in the world.
But this one happens to be an American one and a [G] very, very popular one.
The Red River Valley.

[D] [C]
Yodel-a-dee-oh, [G] yodel-a-dee-oh, [C] yodel-a-dee -dee-dee-dee.
From this valley [G] they say [C] you are going.
[G] We shall miss [C] your dear face [G] and your smile.
[C] Because you are weary [F] and tired, you [G] are changing your range [C] for a while.
[D] So come sit [Em] here while [C] you leave us, [G]
do not hasten to bid us adieu.
But [C] remember the Red [F] River Valley and [G] the cowboy who loves [C] you so true.
[F] [G]
[C]
I've promised you, [G] darling, [C] that never would a word from my lips cause [G] you pain.
And my [C] heart, it would be [F] yours forever if [G] you only would love [C] me again.
[Am] So come sit [G] here while [C] you leave us, do not hasten to bid us [G] adieu.
But remember the Red [F] River Valley [G] and the cowboy who loves [C] you so true.
