Subject: RE: Origins: Red River Valley, Gaelic?
Jim,

Since this thread had the most info about the origin I put my question here.

If the song showed up in Iowa in 1879 it would be the first collected version and I'd like to know the lyrics to see if they related to "A Lady in Love" or "Bright Mohawk Valley" or "Fowke's Canadian version.
