Michael Martin Murphy also does justice to this lovely old cowboy song.

Sitting here in a coffee shop Labor Day weekend 2024 and this is the first I've learned of the song's origin. A flashback to a couple of overseas postings just slammed me right between the eyes.

Wow...thank you so much.....someone pointed out the use of the word adieu ....as a hint of the real source of this beautiful song. Metis French Canadian and Cree Indian.

Thank you so much for the story. The truth is sad.😢 When I was young, this was one of the songs I was taught when learning how to play guitar. And I still love it.♥️

What a great and sad story

Awesome! Love knowing the story behind the music. Thank you!

I was this song in my school days. These days I am teaching this song to the children in the school in Kathmandu.

Je parle Francais et anglais!

Thanks very much from Seoul korea 🇰🇷

这首歌在中国是家喻户晓的加拿大民歌

My grandfather, George Frank, settled in the Granum, Alberta area in about 1918 after emigrating from Germany to the Chicago area then to Granum after helping drive some cattle up from the states. He married my grandmother Helen Nora Burns in 1920 and they had one son and three daughters. Sadly, George was killed in a farming accident in 1929 when my father was 7 years old. This song was a favorite of my father's and he loved to sing it to his children.

This is so amazing to hear! Also, I didn’t know Marie-Rose played accordion!

Lovely song with a sad story, love it

Love this

*HORRIBLE* captions! - You must be settling for Alphabet (YouBoob) AI for the lyrics. Sorry, although I love the song, I'll never play this one again.

I always thought yhis was about the Red river in Texas

Lovely story behind this gem

Thank you Madam for sharing this story❤

Thank you for sharing the wonderful story behind this beautiful song

Love this song. My mom and I would sing it together often. Brings back sweet memories.

As a radio operator I first heard this song on an American radio show. Brought back some memories. Beautifully sung by Garrison Keillor and I think it was Ann Savoy. I looked after many a US and Canadian veterans that came back to the UK to see where they were billeted before embarking for the invasion of Europe. That was in the 1980s. Thank you for posting. Greetings from Yorkshire.

What a voice!!! Priceless!!! Sad words but that ' voice is out of heaven! I love that voice!

Lovely to hear the background to this much loved song.

I had Scotish ancestors involved inthe fur trade, but that was a century after the French travelled from Quebec into what would become the Canadian and American west, to at least the Rockies and south along the Mississippi. Sort of sad we really don't have a lot of detail, except that numerous American cities today, such as Detroit, St Louis, New Orleans and others were all founded by those little guys in big canoes singing French songs as they paddled up to one hundred strokes per minute.

I had an ancestor, John McDonald who joined the NorthWest Co about 1797 and was located in the Red River Valley and then further north and west of there trading furs and then helping to ship them by canoe through to the Lake head at what's now Thunder Bay in Northwest Ontario. He was among the NorWesters charged along with some of the Metis over the deaths of settlers brought into the region by The Hudson Bay Co in 1817 in what was called the "Seven Oaks Battle". He and the others charged were all aquitted and the charges were tossed when the trial began in Toronto a year later. John married an indigenous woman and lived with her, having four or five children, most of whom he sent east to his relatives in eastern Ontario to be educated. When he retired about 1828, years after the NW-Co.and The Bay had merged, as a senior Bay partner, he moved to the then new community of NewMarket, just north of Toronto, with his wife, but died within a year of the move. That's what I think of when I hear this song.

My aunt used to sing this along to Marty Robins. She's been gone 30 years now but I still see her smiling face when I hear this song. Thank you for explaining the meaning behind it. You have a beautiful voice. Have you recorded any other songs?

I think this lovely song should be sung more slowly and tenderly - it’s a lament and a torch song, full of heartache and deep loss and grief. It’s a catchy tune and can be played like a dance tune but the lyrics tell another story. A sad story full of tears.

Both the American Red River Vally that borders Oklahoma and Texas and the northern Red River Mohawk Vally in Manitoba Canada still claim to be the original writers of the song. I think the Canadians have better historical support. However, due to the first written manuscripts being found in 1885 in the U.S. noted with the Nebraska counties of Nemaha and Harlan, The South West has always claimed the song was their own.

I am a firm believer in helper spirits........animal as well as humans. Once I got turned around during a heavy snowstorm. It was way worse than what the meteorologists had predicted. I was (or thought that I was) close to home, and decided to go there rather than turn around and head back to my last location. During the spring and summer of that year, I kept seeing a red fox with her kits, and she seemed to trust me somewhat. While I was pondering which way I needed to go to get home, I looked up and saw my little fox friend. She turned around and headed off, stopping every few yards to make sure I was behind her. When I reached the main road and civilization, I looked for her and she was gone. I can't explain it (later I found out that she had been run over by a car) in the fall of that year. I will be forever indebted to my little red friend.........who says wildlife is completely stupid? Never saw another fox in that area again.

Exceptional

Beautiful

Very melodious ❤❤❤

❤️❤️👍👍

I learned this song nearly 70 years ago, with some different words. I thought I was the only one who remembered it. Thank you for posting this video.
