A Prairie Home Companion Soundtrack - Red River Valley (Garrison Keillor & Jearlyn Steele)

Track 18

Lyrics
Jearlyn Steele:
From this valley they say you are going
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our pathway a while

Both:
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl that has loved you so true

Garrison Keillor:
Oh, just think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be
And just think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you're causing to me

Both:
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu (adieu)
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl that has loved you so true

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Play it now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All right, here's the fiddle now
Aaah, haa, aaah
Oh, yeah, yeah

Both:
As you smile and wave from the window (goodbye)
And sail off to regions unknown (here we go)
Oh, remember how much we have loved you (thank you)
The friends you are leaving at home
C'mon

Both:
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl that has loved you so true

Aaah, haa, yeah, yeah
Aaah, haa, yeah, yeah
Oooh, yeah

Whooo, aaaah
Now that feels good, don't it
Thank you

Oooh, yeah
C'mon
Aaah, haaa
Haaa, haaa, haaa
Let's take it home now

Both:
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu (goodbye)
But remember the Red River Valley
And the girl who has loved you so true

Oh, I hope so
That's what I'm talking about

[rcsheets]

If your heart is breaking, you should not be singing this fast.

@blackwolf787 That's because they are closer and the speed of light -- methinks it's faster closer to Earth.

[blackwolf787]

She sings it too cherry and fast.
