Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Happy Farmer (Schumann)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Schumann's The Happy Farmer
When I was a kid, "There once was an Indian Maid" or Red Wing," 1907 (in DT) was my favorite dirty song. The clean lyrics were by Thurland Chattaway and music by Kerry Mills, 1907 (Linked by Malcolm Douglas in thread 51816; Levy Sheet Music).
Woodie Guthrie did the Union Maid version.
Everyone knows this.

Now who is this Schumann guy?

(Sorry, Wolfgang; couldn't resist. The Schumann connection is new to me).
