As recorded by Thurl Ravenscroft and the Mellomen [Verse 1] G There once was an Indian maid, C G A shy little prairie maid, C G Who sang away, a love song gay, D As on the plain she'd while away the day; G She loved a warrior bold, C G This shy little maid of old, C G But brave and gay, he rode one day D To battle far away. [CHORUS]
C G Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing D G The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying, C G For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping, D G While Red Wing's weeping her heart away. [Verse 2] G She watched for him day and night, C G She kept all the campfires bright, C G And under the sky, each night she would lie, D And dream about his coming by and by; G But when all the braves returned, C G The heart of Red Wing yearned, C G For far, far away, her warrior gay, D Fell bravely in the fray C G Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing D G The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying, C G For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping, D G While Red Wing's weeping her heart away. C G Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing D G The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying, C G For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping, D G While Red Wing's weeping her heart away. G F C D G Poor Little Red Wing's weeping her heart away.
