Never knew I'd be blue
now I'm melancholy right thru
there's a spot not far away
kinda haunts me night and day,
Picture me can't you see
just how doggone happy I'd be.
Ev'ry night there's a candle light
in all my dreams it seems I'm

Down in Indiana, Indiana,
in my dreams I'm roamin'
thru the shady gloamin'
where I was born,
I'll go right back to Indiana, Indiana,
Could anything be grander
than to just meander the fields of corn,
I love that little homestead
where my heart'll be fed on sunshine
I'll meet a lady so fair
in a rocking chair there alone,
I'll leave tonight about eleven,
I'll be in Heaven
tomorrow morn at seven
When I'm in my Home Sweet Indiana Home.

Just seems I'm
Down in Indiana, Indiana,
in my dreams I'm roamin'
thru the shady gloamin'
where I was born,
I'll go right back to Indiana, Indiana,
Could anything be grander
than to just meander the fields of corn,
I love that little homestead
where my heart'll be fed on sunshine
I'll meet a lady so fair
in a rocking chair there alone,
I'll leave tonight about eleven,
I'll be in Heaven
tomorrow morn at seven
When I'm in my Home Sweet Indiana Home.

One o'clock you'll find me
in an upper berth,
Two o'clock I'll start to dream
for all I'm worth,
Three o'clock they start
a Pullman symphony
ev'rybody snoring
in a diff'rent key,
Four o'clock I'll kinda
open up my eyes,
Five o'clock the Indiana sun will rise
Six o'clock the engineer will blow the alarm
sev'n o'clock you'll find me
in my mammy's arms

Way Down in Indiana, Indiana,
in my dreams I'm roamin'
thru the shady gloamin'
where I was born,
I'll go right back to Indiana, Indiana,
Could anything be grander
than to just meander the fields of corn,
I love that little homestead
where my heart'll be fed on sunshine
I'll meet a lady so fair
in a rocking chair there alone,
I'll leave tonight about eleven,
I'll be in Heaven
tomorrow morn at seven
When I'm in my Home Sweet Indiana Home.

Wanna be wanna be
'neath the same old sycamore tree,
what a peaceful atmosphere
kinda fills my heart with cheer,
Gonna smile all the while,
when you smile you're always in style,
Home made ham
corn and checken am
my fav'rite fruit I'll scoot right

Down in Indiana, Indiana,
in my dreams I'm roamin'
thru the shady gloamin'
where I was born,
I'll go right back to Indiana, Indiana,
Could anything be grander
than to just meander the fields of corn,
I love that little homestead
where my heart'll be fed on sunshine
I'll meet a lady so fair
in a rocking chair there alone,
I'll leave tonight about eleven,
I'll be in Heaven
tomorrow morn at seven
When I'm in my Home Sweet Indiana Home.

Just seems I'm
Down in Indiana, Indiana,
in my dreams I'm roamin'
