Box Car Willie - Red River Valley
[E] [B7] [E]
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet [B7]smile.
For they [E]say you are [E7]taking the [A]sunshine,
That has [B7]brighten our pathway a[E]while.
Chorus:
[E]Come and sit by my [B7]side if you [E]love me,
Do not hasten to bid me a [B7]due.
Just re[E]member the [E7]red river [A]valley,
And the [B7]hobo thats loved you so [E]true.
[E]For a long time my [B7]dear I've been [E]waiting,
For those words that you never would [B7]say.
Now at [E]last all my [E7]fond hopes have [A]vanished,
For they [B7]say you are going away.
Sing Chorus
[E]Won't you think of this [B7]valley your [E]leaving,
And how lonely and sad it will [B7]be.
And [E]think of the [E7]heart that your [A]breakin,
And the [B7]grieve that you are causing [E]me.
