From this valley they say you are going
I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
They say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile
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 loves you so true
I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, all my fond hopes have vanished
They say you are going away
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 loves you so true
valley [ˈvælɪ] - долина

"Red River Valley" is a cowboy song. It is one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
There is evidence that it may have been composed at the time of the Wolseley Expedition to the northern Red River Valley of 1870 in Manitoba. The song is about the sorrow of a local woman as her soldier lover prepares to return to the east.
Обратите внимание на слово adieu [əˈdjuː], всем нам знакомое, но в песне оно произностися не в этой своей полной форме, а без одного звука:
[əˈduː] ( [əˈdjuː] ),
что позволяет зарифмовать его со словом true (the cowboy who loves you so true).
Причём в современном американском варианте английского языка получает распространение именно это произнесение слова adieu ([əˈduː]).
