tell you an old time story
Of a place known to you and me
Way down in Red River Valley
There's a flower blooming
Because her lips are as sweet as honey
And her eyes blue as the sea
She's the rose of Red River Valley
Red River Valley rose for me
Ah, tell that story there
Many lovers have tried to woo her,
She's the rose of Red River Valley,
and she's saving all her love for me
Because her lips are as sweet as honey
And her eyes blue as the sea
She's the rose of Red River Valley
Red River Valley rose for me
Oh, that boat ride out there
Now I've told you my old -time story
And you know what I'm going to do
Yes, go back to Red River Valley
Because her lips are as sweet as honey
And her eyes blue as the sea
She's the rose of Red River Valley
Red River Valley rose for me
Red River Valley rose for me
