Red Wing is sung by George W. Ballard on U-S Everlasting Record 1150, issued in 1911.brThis popular song published in 1907 has music by Kerry Mills (1869-1948) and lyrics by Thurland Chattaway (1872-1947).brOn sheet music, Red Wing is called an Indian Intermezzo and also an Indian Fable.brMills music here is influenced by Robert Schumanns The Happy Farmer, Returning From Work.brThere once lived an Indian maid--bra shy little prairie maid who sang brall day a love song gay as on the brplains shed while away the day.brShe loved a warrior bold (this shy brlittle maid of old), but brave and gay brhe rode one day to battle far away.brNow the moon shines brtonight on pretty Red Wing. brThe breeze is sighing. The brnight birds crying, for afar brneath his star her brave is brsleeping while Red Wings brweeping her heart away.
