A touch of country humour in the harmonies and accompaniment will endear the audience.
Listen to the laughter on this recording. The string players were holding their instruments like guitars.

LYRICS

From this valley they say you are going
I shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you all of the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway awhile

So consider a while, ere you leave me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the Red River girl who loved you

So remember the valley you’re leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be
and remember the heart you are breaking
and be true to your promise to me

Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Oh remember the Red River Valley
And the Red River girl who loved you
