Red River Valley

Description

Red River Valley is a classic 19th-century American folk and cowboy ballad of uncertain origins, likely rooted in the Red River Valley of the North (Manitoba/Minnesota-Dakota region). Anecdotal evidence suggests it emerged around 1870 during the Wolseley Expedition amid the Red River Rebellion, possibly as a Métis woman's lament for a departing soldier. First printed in 1887 and popularized as a Western standard, its poignant lyrics of farewell, love, and remembrance have made it a bluegrass and country staple.
