James Talley - Red River Memory

From this valley, they say, you are going
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you know you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened the path for a while

So come and sit by my side
If you love me
Do not hasten to beg me (?...)
But remember the Red River valley
And the Cowboy that loved you so true

And deep within my soul
I'm trying to recall
A treasure that was lost so long ago

Many a-dreams dead and gone
Like the cowboy and his song
Since I loved you
On that old River River shorе

How I long once again for that valley
How I miss those bright еyes and that smile
How I need your warm rays of sunshine
To brighten my light for awhile

Yes, I remember that Red Diver valley
And in my heart the love we once knew
Yes, I remember the songs and the stories
For I’m that cowboy
That now misses you
