Verse 1
G G 
 
There once was an Indian maid
C C 
 
G G 
 
who al ways was afraid
That some buckaroo would fly
D D 
 
around the flew as she lay sleeping
G G 
 
In the shade she had an idea grand,
she'd fill it up with sand
To keep the boys from
D D 
 
forbidden joys
G G 
 
in Redwick's promised land
C C 
 
Oh, the sun shines down
G G 
 
on pretty Red Wing
D D 
 
as she lay sleeping
G G 
 
This buck come creeping,
C C 
 
G G 
 
with his one good eye he was a -peeping
D D 
 
G G 
 
He hoped to reach the promised land.
Now he was an Indian wise,
C C 
 
G G 
 
he reached for Red Wing's thighs,
With an old rubber boot on the end of a toot,
D D 
 
He made poor Red Wing open up her eyes,
G G 
 
But when she'd come to life,
she grabbed her Bowie knife,
It flashed in the sky as she let it fly,
D D 
 
G G 
 
And shortened his love life.
C C 
 
Oh, the moon shines down
G G 
 
on pretty Red Wing,
D D 
 
G G 
 
As she lay snoring, her knife adoring,
C C 
 
For no longer do the Braves
G G 
 
come whoring,
D D 
 
They won't pay the price
G G 
 
of the promised land.
Oh, girls, if you want to be wives,
C C 
 
G G 
 
put away those knives.
Boys like to play for a fling in
the hay.
D D 
 
They don't want to pay
the rest of their lives.
G G 
 
Mind what Mama said.
C C 
 
G G 
 
If you're lying in your bed,
C C 
 
if you can't evade,
G G 
 
Don't reach for a blade.
D D 
 
G G 
 
Have a hell of a time instead.
C C 
 
Oh, the clouds go floating
G G 
 
over Red Wing
D D 
 
As she lays snoring
G G 
 
where life is boring.
C C 
 
Why, she'd even welcome
G G 
 
Herman Go ering
D D 
 
G G 
 
Into the pleasure of her promised land.
