D Em D
so long to the red river valley,
D Em
my ropin' and wranglin' is through
A Em D
and so farewell to the home corral
Em A
and all the old friends that I knew
D Em D
goodbye to the old empty bunkhouse
D D A
where i dreamed the hours away
A Em D
send my mail to the end of the trail
A A D
so long to the red river valley
Em Em Em
i'll roll up my beddin' and pack up my
D Em A
clothes and lighten my heart with a song
D Em
for where i'll be travelin' , nobody knows
Em D A
so i'll have to be movin' a long
Repeat Chorus 2nd time
