Red River Valley
Manitoba border lowland
Red River Valley refers to the fertile lowland along the Red River of the North, straddling Minnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba—one of North America's most productive agricultural regions.
The name also belongs to a traditional folk song, a nostalgic ballad of farewell: Come and sit by my side if you love me.
The song has been recorded countless times across genres.
