Lyrics:
Red River Valley [Version (a)]:

Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

Come and sit by my side, if you're leavin'
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true

This valley they say you are leaving
We will miss your sweet face and your smile
Just because you are weary and tired
???

Doo doo doo doo
[scat singing]
 
The Song:

This, I believe, is a traditional folk song, covered by lots of folk.

Beck does not sing on this one, but he adds some background vocals and is probably playing guitar. Near the end, he does start singing "What Did The Deep Sea Say?" again (which he'd already song earlier in the party).

All this goes down on a very informal tape made circa 1990, of what sounds like a group of friends sitting around singing songs.
