I live in Ireland, I am not an American -But these songs remind me of my boyhood - watching westerns on television starring the likes of John Wayne, Mr.Scott, Henry Fonda, and Jimmy Stewart, films with flawed heroes - but with a moral code - I still love these movies
I love how old folk songs, well into the 20th Century, were passed along between artists and every rendition was unique. As a musician, that is what music is all about! Everything is licensed property now.
I used to have a recording of Red River Valley by the Chuck Wagon Gang. Sadly I haven't been able to find it on the net. It was very similar in feel to this, but sung with gospel harmonies.
From this valley they say you are going, I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine, that brightens our pathways awhile. (CHORUS) Come and sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me a-dieu, but remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true. 2. I’ve been thinking a long time, my darlin’, Of the sweet words you never would say, now, alas, all my fond hopes must vanish. For they say you are going away. Repeat Chorus: Come and sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me a-dieu, but remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true. 3. Do you think of the valley you’re leaving? Oh, how lonely and sad it will be! Do you think of the kind hearts you’re breaking, and the pain you are causing to me? Repeat Chorus: Come and sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me a-dieu, but remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true. 4. I have promised you, darlin’, that never, will a word from my lips cause you pain; And my life, it will be yours forever If you only will love me again. Repeat Chorus: Come and sit by my side if you love me, do not hasten to bid me a-dieu, but remember the Red River Valley, and the cowboy who loved you so true.
I been looking the original version because Tombstone(the movie) when Dana Denaly sings, this version is priceless,also I like Michael Martin Murphey version
Of course. I'm a homeless bum and I am spending my last weekend under a highway overpass because I was just visited by my outreach counsellor who informed me that on Monday morning I will be moving into my permanent apartment and I listened to this after I watched hallelujah I'm a bum and I. AM. HAPPY.
@@BoxerThe210 All is a laundry detergent that I believe is not as good as Tide. But they are both exemplary in their performance compared to using a bar of soap and elbow grease on a washboard in the San Diego River in the middle of a poop filled bout with food sickness at midnight on a muggy summer night. So yeah I'm doing better than I was that night.
JIM LOBLEY, Like you, I have always loved this song, but are you seriously telling us that there have been no gripping songs written, sung and heard during the 93 years since this version ??

And American country music is derived from English ballads which were themselves derived from Celtic music

"Must the past with its joys be blighted by the future of sorrow and pain..."

My Grandpa is a fan of music like this
Rest in peace Grandpa, Grandma got to see you on valentines.
May God bless your grandparents and your family !!!
Never heard of this bloke but he is great-very original and no silly vibrato etc. Thanks for posting.
Love this song and this version is classic
This man will certainly go on to make the greatest Hobo song of all time

Original is by Harold weeks
I live in the Red River Valley
How cool !!
canada?
@@jerrylyons9279 nope North Dakota
i thought the Red River Valley was from the Red River that passes through La Louisianne?
@@YY19AOS2 the Red River of the north flows up to Canada
peak youtube at 4 am
this will be a perfect song to sing walking alongside an out of operation railroad tracks
As good as the best.
The quality is surprisingly good for 1928. Has this been cleaned up?
I'm guessing this tune inspired the Apples and Bananas kids song? They sound awfully similar.
Can you listen without becoming sad?

Where have I heard this song I seem to know it so well but I don't know where from
Manitoba and Oklahoma both claim it, since it doesn't specify WHICH Red River.
Enjoyed that he did the entire song but, as tone deaf as I am, I think his singing is not up to par.
What is it about women.....that they are always leaving....?
