"Red Wing" was a popular song written in 1907 with music by Kerry 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 original version of "Red Wing" is in the Songs section.
This is a bawdy parody of the song (also titled "Red Wing"). The reference to Hermann Goering in the last verse dates this parody to the 1940s.
Woody Guthrie used this tune for his song "Union Maid" in the Legacies section.
