GUEST,John Garst	Origins: Red River Valley, Gaelic? (108* d)	RE: Origins: Red River Valley, Gaelic?	14 Mar 09
First, a comment: I have stared again at my copy of "The Red River Valley" from the Piper Collection at Iowa, the one bearing the notations "Nemaha - 1879" and "Harlow 1885." Previously, I gave the second line as "I shall miss your bright eyes and your(?) smile" Looking again, I think the scrawl may instead be "fair smile". Second, a question: When was the first notice of the "cowboy" version, the one with the phrase, "the cowboy who/that loves you so true"? As far as I know right now, it was Carl T. Sprague's 1925 recording. A host of other recordings followed, including one by Jules Verne Allen in 1929.
