LOL...just googled for Lost Indian lyrics and only found this old thread.   

FYI...I just listened to a cd from a book called Ozarks Fiddle Music where I heard Lost Indian played and sang (commented he had known it for 50 yrs).   The melody was not like the Lost Indian and Cherokee Shuffle I know (two different tunes, similar A part, but in LI, B part played an octave up).   It reminded me of Rye Whiskey.   The singer did a verse or two in what I would call a falsetto whoop.   Couldnt make out the words well so I googled...
