Red River Valley    (RIV 305)  

OPENER



Grand Square
From this valley they say you are going.
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
For they say you are taking the sunshine.
That has brightened our path...
Allemande Left and Weave the Ring.
Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true.

FIGURE



Head [side] couples Square Thru and get 4 hands around now
When you meet the sides you make a Right Hand Star.
Heads come in Reverse the Flutter Wheel around now
Then Sweep ¼ more until you’re home.
Side [head] pair Touch ¼, that boy Run to the right
Swing your corner lady around and Promenade
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true.

MIDDLE BREAK



Grand Square
Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be
Think of the kind heart that you’re breaking
And the grief you are causing
Allemande Left and Weave
Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true.

CLOSER



Grand Square
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged
Allemande Left and Weave
Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true.
