Red Wing 1907

There once lived an Indian maid,
A shy little prairie maid,
Who sang a lay, a love song gay,
as on the plain she'd while away the day;
She loved a warrior bold,
this shy little maid of old,
but brave and gay,
he rode one day
to battle far away.

Now the moon shines tonight
on pretty Red Wing,
the breeze is sighing,
the night bird's crying,
for afar 'neath his star
her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping
her heart away.

Now the moon shines tonight
on pretty Red Wing,
the breeze is sighing,
the night bird's crying,
for afar 'neath his star
her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping
her heart away.

She watched for him day and night,
She kept all the camp fires bright,
and under the sky,
each night she would lie,
and dream about his
coming by and by;
But when all the braves returned,
the heart of Red Wing yearned,
for far, far away,
her warrior gay,
fell bravely in the fray.

Now the moon shines tonight
on pretty Red Wing,
the breeze is sighing,
the night bird's crying,
for afar 'neath his star
her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping
her heart away.

Now the moon shines tonight
on pretty Red Wing,
the breeze is sighing,
the night bird's crying,
for afar 'neath his star
her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wing's weeping
her heart away.
