WAY DOWN IN OLD INDIANA.
Copyrighted by Paul Dresser.I
With a heart full OF longing my thoughts turn
tonight
Back to old Indiana.
The same Maynard lad in the mellow moonlight
Down IN old Indiana.
There lie the scenes Of a lifetime the best.
There's where watched the sun sink in the
west.
And when 1 am gone 1t is there 1 would rest.
Way down in old Indiana.
There's where the old folks have slept many
years.
There as a child I saw Hfe's joys and tears.
In fancy 1 see mother calming my fears.
Way down in old Indiana.
It was there that in prayer I first folded my
hands.
Down in old Indiana.
And there in my dreams I saw FAR distant lands.
Down in old Indiana.
I see the harvest hands gathering the grain.
Inc llJlsuL OL II OI4 nome my ArdAl AAA7 WIN
pain.
Gladly would 1 live II over again
Way down in old Indiana.
