Thanks for those two American songs, Buffalo Gals and Red River Valley. Quite different in tone. And speed!
Here is my entry. The opera singer Thomas Hampson sings a song from the composer Stephen Foster, whose statue was removed in Pittsburgh for its offense to minorities.
Here’s another version from La Scala in 1981.

Thanks.
That’s a lovely version by Hampson. With the mandolin in the background, it makes you feel like you’re in an Italian restaurant.
