"From the Land of the Sky-Blue Water" is a popular song published in 1909. Charles Wakefield Cadman composed the music based on an Omaha love song collected by Alice C. Fletcher. "Sky-blue water" is a translation of the name "Minnesota" from Dakota into English. Nelle Richmond Eberhart wrote the poem that goes with the music: :From the Land of Sky-blue Water, :They brought a captive maid, :And her eyes they are lit with lightnings, :Her heart is not afraid! :But I steal to her lodge at dawning, :I woo her with my flute; :She is sick for the Sky-blue Water, :The captive maid is mute.〔Cadman, "From the Land of the Sky-Blue Water."〕 A pretty, lyrical and jazzy version is performed by Harpo Marx in the 1940 film ''Go West'', featuring his harp accompanied by a flute-playing Indian chief. Hamm's Beer also used the music for its advertising jingle. A snatch is sung by Blanche DuBois in ''A Streetcar Named Desire'' by Tennessee Williams in Scene Two while she is in the bathroom. The first line, "From the Land of Sky-blue Water", is sung by the Three Stooges in the film "The Three Stooges In Orbit", at about the three quarter point in the film, right before they launch into space for the first time. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「From the Land of the Sky-Blue Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
