Slim Dusty - Rose of Red River Valley lyrics

rate me

Let me tell you an old time story

Of a place known to you and me,

Away down in Red River Valley

Theres a flower blooming just for me.

Because her lips are as sweet as honey,

And her eyes blue as the sea,

Shes the rose of Red River Valley,

Red River Valley Rose for me.

Ill tell that story now.

Many lovers have tried to woo her,

But it was not to be,

Shes the Rose of Red River Valley,

And shes saving all her love for me.

Because her lips are as sweet as honey,

And her eyes blue as the sea,

Shes the rose of Red River Valley,

Red River Valley Rose for me.

Oh, lets all ride out there!

Now I told you my old time story,

And you know what Im going to do,

Yes, go back to Red River Valley,

And be contented for my whole life through.

Because her lips are as sweet as honey,

And her eyes blue as the sea,

Shes the rose of Red River Valley,

Red River Valley Rose for me.

Red River Valley Rose for me.
