I have it by Bobby Watt on his album "Homeland"and his liner notes give it to an A. Mitchel

Indiana

Fare the well now, Indiana
Your green land has been good to me
There I've traveled, there I've settled
There I've raised all my family
But the cord has never severed
And the longing each day has grown
So tomorrow I'll be leaving
For the land I call my home

All my friends say that I'm crazy
going back to such poverty
Americay is, so they say now,
The land of opportunity
But the red deer runs so freely
And the herron is slowly flies
These are memories of my homeland
That money can never buy

Now the boat lies in the harbour
I'm looking back now towards the shore
I feel sadness that I'm leaving
Your green land for evermore
Now the ship is one the ocean
And we're sailing upon the sea
All my dreams I've had for years now
Are growing closer to reality

And the cord has never severed
And the longing each day has grown
So tomorrow, I'll be there now
In the land I call my home

The chords, I'm sure you can figure out... it's not so difficult a song... Or someone else here can edit my post to put them in... I'm not mucking that far down into HTML crud...

Nice song eh!
