Jordan Mertes - Red River Valley Lyrics

My sweet darling they say you are wounded
And the sheriff lies dead in the town
For his cruel words that tarnished my virtue
You called him out and shot him down

Come and sit by my side as I leave you
I'll not hasten to bid you adieu
As I lie in the Red River Valley
With the cowgirl that loves me so true

I'm frightened my dear that you're dying
As you lay here so cold upon my breast
Oh the grave digger has gone to the prairie
And the preacher will lay you to rest

Come and sit by my side as I leave you
I'll not hasten to bid you adieu
As I lie in the Red River Valley
With the cowgirl that loves me so true

When you go to your home amongst the heavens
And you pass through those big pearly gates
Tell god you have left your sweet loved one
And in the Red River Valley she waits

Come and sit by my side as I leave you
I'll not hasten to bid you adieu
As I lie in the Red River Valley
With the cowgirl that loves me so true

I promise you my darling that always
My poor heart will forever be yours
Here's a kiss for the journey you're taking
For I know that I'll see you no more

Come and sit by my side as I leave you
I'll not hasten to bid you adieu
As I die in the Red River Valley
With the cowgirl that loves me so true
With the cowgirl that loves me so true
