Red River Valley

                   C                                            
From this valley they say you are going
                                                              G7
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
               C                               F
For they say you are taking the sunshine
                  C                 G7                C
Which has brightened our path for a while

O  and think of the fond heart you're breaking

And the grief you are causing to me
