Please come back to the red river valley
Please come back to our hearts Betty Sue
I'll be here in the red river valley
I'll be waiting my darling for you

Oh my darling I know you are leaving
Though you say it is just for awhile
But my darling you know I'll be grieving
For the sound of your voice & your smile

I have waited along time my darling
For the word that you never would say
Now I know that my dreams are all ending
For I know you are going away
Far away

Please come back to the red river valley
Please come back to our hearts Betty Sue
I'll be here in the red river valley
I'll be waiting my darling for you
I'll be waiting my darling for you
