There once lived an In -dian maid, a shy lit -tle prai -rie maid,

Who sang -a lay a love song gay, As on the plain she'd while a -way the day;

She loved a war -rior bold, this shy lit -tle maid of old,

But brave and gay, he rode out one day to bat -tle far a -way.

Now, the moon shines to -night on pret -ty Red Wing,

The breeze is sigh -ing, the night bird's cry -ing,

For a -far 'neath his star her brave is sleep -ing,

While Red Wing's weep -ing her heart a -way.
