Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Take me to the Rogue River Valley
Where the silver moonlight shines
Someone waits for me in the Valley
There among the blue-tipped pines
She’ll be by the river
Where all heaven beams
There by the river
We’ll find our trail of dreams
Donkey don’t you dare to dally
Can’t you hear the Killdeer’s song
High up in the Rogue River Valley
That’s where I belong
