Box Car Willie Red River Valley
Songwriters: Martin, Lecil Travis;From this valley they say you are goin'
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are takin' the sunshine
That has brightened our pathway a while
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 old boy that loved you so true
Far along by my dear I've been waiting
For those words that you never would say
But at last all my fond hopes have vanished
For to day, you are going away
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 old boy that loved you so true
Won't you think of this valley you're leavin'
And how lonely and sad it will be
And think of the heart that you are breakin'
And the grief that you are causing me
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 old boy that loved you so true
