Molly Whuppie - 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 are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our path for a while

So come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the one that has loved you so true

I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished
For they say you are going away

So come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the one that has loved you so true
