I just got a letter from
a Hoosier girl of mine
She said, "Sweetie dear,
wish that you were here"
Kissin' that I'm missin'
makes me long for her again
So, I'm goin' to pack my grip
and hop upon a train

To see my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as a baby grand piana
Not very nifty, weighs just twofifty
But a great big fat girl now and then
Is relished by the best of men
Anna in Indiana will have my arms
As far around her as they'll go
I'm all through with Broadway Sallies
Now I long for hills and valleys
I'm goin' back to Indiana

To see my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as a baby grand piana
Not very nifty, weighs just twofifty
But a great big fat girl now and then
Is relished by the best of men
Anna in Indiana will have my arms
As far around her as they'll go
I'm all through with Broadway Sallies
Now I long for hills and valleys
I'm goin' back to Indiana

I just sent a wire to that
Hoosier girl of mine
I said, "Dear, prepare,
I will soon be there
You can tell the Rubens
I am coming there to stay"
I have brought a wedding ring
and now I'm on my way

To wed my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as
a baby grand piana
She went to school,
though you wouldn't think so
For a dumber girl could never live
She thanks me for each kiss I give
Anna in Indiana will have my arms
As far around her as they'll go
Town girls want your good behavior
Kiss a Rube girl, it's a favor
I'm goin' back to Indiana

To wed my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as
a baby grand piana
She went to school,
though you wouldn't think so
For a dumber girl could never live
She thanks me for each kiss I give
Anna in Indiana will have my arms
As far around her as they'll go
Town girls want your good behavior
Kiss a Rube girl, it's a favor
I'm goin' back to Indiana
