世界名曲《紅河谷》（加拿大民歌）～ Red River Valley

作詞：Am. folk song     作曲：Am. folk song

From this valley they say you are leaving

We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For you take with you all of the sunshine

That has brightened our pathway a while

Then come sit by my side, if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy that's loved you so true

From a long time, my darling, I have waited

For the sweet words you never would say

Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished

For they say that you're going away

Then come sit by my side, if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy that's loved you so true

Attached below FYI is some related info from Wikipedia:

Red River Valley is a folk song often sung by the Sons of the Pioneers.

It is still widely believed to be a Texas re-working of a popular

American song of 1896, "In the Bright Mohawk Valley"; however, research

has found that it was known in at least five Canadian provinces before

then. This finding led to speculation that it was composed at the time

of the Wolseley expedition to the northern Red River Valley in Manitoba,

and depicts the sorrow of a local girl or woman as her soldier lover

prepares to return to Ontario.

A version of the song was recorded by Bill Haley and the Four Aces of

Western Swing in the late 1940s.

The song and tune have been used in numerous films. It was particularly

memorable in John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath, whose tale of displaced

Oklahomans helps associate it with the southern Red River.

Johnny and the Hurricanes recorded a rock and roll adaptation of the song,

Red River Rock, in 1959. It became a Top 10 hit on the US and UK charts.

A remake of this song by British group Silicon Teens is prominently

featured in the score for the 1987 film Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

Johnny Cash wrote and performed a humorous song entitled "Please Don't Play

Red River Valley" for his 1966 album Everybody Loves a Nut.

Garrison Keillor often performs the song on his popular radio show, A

Prairie Home Companion.
