| Facts: |
| verses 3 was written by me and verse 4 is a paraphrase of the last part of Casey at the bat that I adapted to fit in this song. (artpaul) |
| The Author of original version of the song is unclear but here is some information I attained from this website :
http://www.plainsfolk.com/songs/song4.htm
"It's hard, but I'm trying to educate people about the origins of this Great Plains classic, which most everyone, even on the northern plains, thinks originated in Texas. Now I ask you, Would a Texas cowboy say to his sweetheart, "Do not hasten to bid me adieu"?
As was shown by the research of Canadian folklorist Edith Fowke, the song originated among British troops who came to Manitoba, the Red River Valley of the North, to put down the Metis rebellion of the late 1860s. Like "Fraulein" and all the other soldier's-sweetheart songs that were popular country standards in Cold-War America and on Armed Forces Radio, "Red River Valley" is a song of military occupation.
Living in North Dakota I have encountered a number of versions of this song, all of them clearly tied to the northern, not southern, traditions of the text. This text, because of some of the terms in it, is politically incorrect, and when I was an academic dean, I had to worry about that. Lately, however, I have lapsed into historical authenticity."

| Song Lyrics: |
From this valley they say you are leaving
Gonna miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens pathways awhile
So come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
And remember that Red River Valley
And the cowboy that loved you so true
But if you truly do love me
And you meant it truer than true
Then why are you leaving this valley
And making my heart so blue
Well somewhere the sky is sunny
There is blue sky all about
But in Mudville it is raining
For the might Casey struck out
So come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
And remember that Red River Valley
And the cowboy that loved you so true
