From this valley they say you are going,

we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

         C                      F
For they say you are taking the sunshine,

         C              G          C
that has brightened our path for a while

         C         G           C

and the cowboy who loved you so true

oh, how lonely, how sad it will be?

    C                              F
Oh, think of the fond heart you're breaking,

        C             G          C
and the grief you are causing to me

         C         G           C
Come and sit by my side if you love me,

do not hasten to bid me adieu
