《Red River Valley》是一首經典的美國民歌,歌詞如下:
Oh, take me back to the red river valley
Where I was born and raised in the cornfield
Where the cotton grow for the cotton gin
And the corn and wheat for the nation
Oh, take me back, I want to go
To the beautiful red river valley home
Oh, the dear sweet river is there
Where I'll soon be waiting
We often thought of days like these
Where our loved one is now leading us away
In a gentle rain on a Saturday night
At a bonfire we are crying in our pride
But oh so soon the tears are dried
Oh for my true love will take me back to you again
So don't be blue my dear when I am gone
For I'll be coming back to you again
Oh, the sweet river and the sweet old town
And my dear mother's kind face above
Oh, it's a long way back from Texas land
But my true love will take me back to you again
