Lyrics & chords

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