"Red Wing" is a popular song written in 1907 with music by F.A Mills and lyrics by Thurland Chattaway.

Mills adapted the music of the verse from Robert Schumann's piano composition "The Happy Farmer, Returning From Work" from his 1848 Album for the Young, Opus 68.

The song tells of a young Indian girl's loss of her sweetheart who has died in battle.

Guthrie's are perhaps the most famous of alternative words for the song; his song begins: Red Wing was parodied in a version popular among British troops during the First World War, which begins with the line, "Now the moon shines bright on Charlie Chaplin."

During the 1970s, Harry Boardman and the Oldham Tinkers folk group recorded a version incorporating all of the verses that they remembered from their childhood.
