Lost Indian
Traditional, in D

(F=4+8 raise; ~=sustain)

BTW - this tune is virtually identical to another one called 'Cherokee Shuffle' that's usually played in A. Cherokee Shuffle has an extra bar before the last line tag on the A and B parts.

It is exceptionally hard - if not impossible - to convey the rhythm and timing that I hear in my head. I play this on the fiddle, and there is a TON of syncopation and bowing complexity that is beyond written notation. Hope this helps anyway.
