" We Shall Walk Through The Streets Of The city" was originally composed by Peacock in 1874, according to my records. This would pre-date "Red River Valley" and also the Rev Haywood's lyrics for "We shall Walk" which came along later.
The composer of "Red River Valley" (unknown) may have copied the melody, as it would have been out of copyright. However it is a very, very common chord sequence used for many melodies. Same as the "Saints" for just one example.
