Spike Jones

Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (December 14, 1911 – May 1, 1965) was an American musician and bandleader specializing in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. Through the 1940s and early 1950s, the band recorded under the title Spike Jones and his City Slickers and toured the United States and Canada under the title The Musical Depreciation Revue. more »

 Struggling with Red Wing? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

There once was an Indian maid a shy little prairie maid 
who sang all day a love song gay as through the fields she'd while the hours away. 
She loved an Indian brave this shy little prairie maid 
and then one day he rode away to battle far away..

Chorus 
Oh the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing, 
the breeze is sighing, the night birds crying,
For a far far away her brave is dying 
and Red Wings's crying her heart away.

She watched for him day and night,
She kept all the campfires bright,
And under the sky,
Each night she would lie, 
And dream about his coming by and by
But when all the braves returned the heart of Red Wing yearned 
for far far away her warrior brave fell bravely in the fray.

chorus
Now the Moon shines tonight on pretty Redwing,
the breeze is sighing, the night birds crying,
for a far'neath his star her brave is sleeping,
while Redwing's weeping her heart away.
