3 4 4 -3 4 5 6
There once lived an In-dian maid
5 -5 -5 -6 7 -6 6
A shy lit-tle prai-rie maid
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 5 5 -4 4
Who sang a way, a love song gay
-5 5 5 -4 4 5
As on the plain she'd
-4 5 -4 -3 3
while a-way the day
3 4 4 -3 4 5 6
She loved a war-rior bold
5 -5 -5 -6 7 -6 6
This shy lit- tle maid of old
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 5 5 -4 4
But brave and gay, he rode one day
5 -4 4 -3 3 -4 4
To bat-tle far a-way
7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6
Now, the moon shines to-night
7 -7 -6 6 5
on pret-ty Red Wing
6 -6 6 6 -4
The breeze is sigh-ing,
6 -6 6 6 5
the night bird's cry-ing
7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6
For a- far ‘neath his star
7 -7 -6 6 5
her brave is sleep-ing
6 -6 6 6 -4
While Red Wing’s weep-ing
-5 5 -4 4
her heart a-way
3 4 4 -3 4 5 6
She watched thru the day and night
5 -5 -5 -6 7 -6 6
She Kept all the campfires bright
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 5 5 -4 4
And under the sky, each night she would lie
-5 5 5-4 4 5
And dream about his
-4 5 -4 -3 3
coming by and by 3 4 4 -3 4 5 6
But when all the braves returned
5 -5 -6 7 -6 6
The heart of Red Wing yearned
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -5 5 -5 5 -4 4
For far far away, her warrior so
5 -4 4 -3 3 -4
Fell bravely in the fray
7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6
Now, the moon shines to-night
7 -7 -6 6 5
on pret-ty Red Wing
6 -6 6 6 -4
The breeze is sigh-ing,
6 -6 6 6 5
the night bird's cry-ing
7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6
For a- far ‘neath his star
7 -7 -6 6 5
her brave is sleep-ing
6 -6 6 6 -4
While Red Wing’s weep-ing
-5 5 -4 4
her heart a-way
