"Sun Bird" is an intermezzo composed by Kerry Mills in 1908. Thurland Chattaway wrote lyrics that appear in some later publications. The chorus is a love song from an Indian warrior to Sun Bird, an Indian maiden:
The song has been recorded numerous time in many different styles.
- Oh, pretty Sun Bird,— just whisper one word—
- To guide me on my way day by day 'neath the prairie sky;
- And when I'm dreaming— 'mid camp fires gleaming—
- My love star shines for you, all for you, my sun Bird.
- (repeat)
