This is an adaptation of Thurland Chattaway's "Red Wing" from the early 1900's.

Pretty Red Wing (Larry W. Jones 04/16/2007) (song#4585)

Once there lived a pretty little Indian maid
Who sang a love song of her Indian brave
One day there came along a chieftain bold
And to the pretty little Indian maid he told
That a war was going to be fought that day
Her Indian brave he sought to join the fray

The stars don't shine tonight on pretty Red Wing
Willow trees are crying, prairie breezes sighing
Her brave is not around, he's fallen to the ground
And pretty little Red Wing's calling for her love

- instrumental -

Pretty Red Wing watched for him night and day
She kept the campfire burning, come what may
Now under the prairie sky, she wonders why
Why did her brave have to be the one to die

The stars don't shine tonight on pretty Red Wing
Willow trees are crying, prairie breezes sighing
Her brave is not around, he's fallen to the ground
And pretty little Red Wing's calling for her love]]> Guitar Noise Songwriting Club lwj001 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-songwriting-club/pretty-red-wing/#post-25078
