During the American War ( 1861-1865 ) between the Northern and Southern slave States...
Rose was a sweet black girl ... sent on horseback by her mother ... for news about her Dad and Uncle Ben ...
" She rode out ... never saw my sister Rose again ... "
... going from Shannon Creek ... to Shadow Valley ( premonitory name ) ... and there, she saw her " Pa " ... but ... exposed to the fighting troops ... she was killed by crossfires !
Nice slow dance for some ... but sad story.

Bela música que marcou a minha infância e de meu irmão, pois na época minha irmã era BB de colo! Mas essa música faz nos recordar um período em que ficavamos passeando de carro pelas ruas de Goiânia com meu Pai, minha Mãe, meu Irmã e minha Irmã. Lembro que escutavamos essa música e muitas outras da época... Isso mais ou menos em 1985.
Videos como esse é bom sempre que seja postado aqui, pois muitos se agradam!!!
Valeu!
