Red River Valley (Marty Robbins)(Inst. cover-Hamer'Jon)
This song is played on the Roland Accordion, I recorded it live direct onto the computer, but I avoided doing a live take on my playing! I wanted to show every scene as the "Red River" area, hope you enjoy it.
According to Canadian folklorist Edith Fowke, there is anecdotal evidence that the song was known in at least five Canadian provinces before 1896.
This finding led to speculation that the song was composed at the time of the 1870 Wolseley Expedition to Manitoba's northern Red River Valley.
It expresses the sorrow of a local woman (possibly a Métis) as her soldier lover prepares to return to the east.
Marty Robbins Sings 'Red River Valley.' Many top singers have recorded this song including Jo Stafford, Slim Whitman and Jimmie Rodgers, but nobody does it better than Marty Robbins.
