[N] [D]
Then sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me [A] adieu.
Just [Dm] remember that Red River [G] Valley
And the [D] cowboy that [Em] loves you so [D] true.
When they tell me, my dear, that you're going
I will miss your bright eyes and your [A] smile.
[D] For with you, you are taking the [G] sunshine
That has brightened my [A] life for a [D] while.
So come sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me [A] adieu.
Just [D] remember that Red River [G]
Valley
And the [D] cowboy [A] that loves you [D] so true.

And you go to your home by the ocean.
May you never forget those [A] sweet hours

exchanged with [D] the flowers.
So come sit by my side if you love me.

Just [D] remember that Red River [G] Valley
And [E] the cowboy [A] that loves you [D] so true.
I have waited a long time, my darling
For those words that you never would [Em] say.
Till at [D] last my poor heart [G] is breaking
For they [D] tell me you're going away.
So come sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me [A] adieu.
Just [D] remember that Red River [G] Valley
And that cowboy [A] that loves you so true.
