In my impression, red river valley is supposed to be in Manitoba.
The Red River itself locates in the area around Manitoba however it says the song itself comes from local Calgarian. To my knowledge it is about the local cowboys.Any way I know little about it I keep taking it as Indonesia origin till yesterday when I reading the comments followed the video in the youtube.com.
I pasted the wrong link,the right one:

Red River Valley
arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile
CHORUS:
Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
I've been thinking a long time, my darling
Of the sweet words you never would say
Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish
For they say you are gong away
Do you think of the valley you're leaving
O how lonely and how dreary it will be
And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking
And the pain you are causing to me
CHORUS
They will bury me where you have wandered
Near the hills where the daffodils grow
When you're gone from the Red River Valley
For I can't live without you I know
CHORUS
