Verse 1

From this valley they say you are going

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened my pathway awhile

Verse 2

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 3

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving

O how lonesome, how sad it will be?

O think of the fond heart you’re breaking

Every grief you are causing to me.

Verse 4

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loves you so true

And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 1

Well, not so long ago,

I had the sweetest dream

I will never forget the feeling,

People walking hand in hand

Will you come

with me, come

To the other side of the river

Where peace you will find,

Reach the other side, will we ever

Will you come

With me, come

Verse 2

I’m awake, but

my dream is still here,

In my heart my soul and mind

And I hope this dream we can share,

‘Cause your heart beats just like mine

Will you come with me, come

To the other side of the river

Where peace you will find,

Reach the other side, will we ever

Will you come

with me, come

Will you come,

Come with me, come

Will you come

With me, come

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 1

Little girl, little girl, what have I done

That makes you treat me so?

You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn

And you caused me to leave my home

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow

Verse 2

The longest train I ever saw

Came down that Georgia line

The engine passed at six o'clock

And the cab came by at nine

Chorus

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And we shiver when the cold winds blow

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And you shiver when the cold winds blow
