LYRICS TO RED RIVER VALLEY SONG
Quotation From "Ghost Town" By Mary Pope Osborne
"From this valley they say you are going.
I will miss your sweet face and bright smile.
For they say you are taking the sunshine.
That has brightened my pathway awhile.
Refrain (after each verse)
Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
For remember the Red River Valley.
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
There never could be such a longing
In the heart of a poor cowboy's breast.
As dwells in this heart you are breaking,
While I wait in my home in the West.
Do you think of this valley you're leaving,
Oh, how lonely and dreary it will be?
Do you think of the kind hearts you're grieving,
And the pain you are causing to me?
RED RIVER VALLEY SONG (CONT'D)
From this valley they say you are going.
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
For they say you are weary and tired.
And must find a new range for a while."
