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
