Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Indiana (Andy Mitchell)
As sung by Battlefield Band

Fare thee well Indiana
Your green land's been good to me
There I've travelled, and I've settled
There I've raised up 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 they say I'm crazy
Going back to such poverty
Americay, so they tell me
Is the land of opportunity
But the red deer runs so swiftly
And the heron slowly glides
These are treasures from my homeland
Of your money could never buy

As our ship lies in the harbo(u)r
I will look back upon your shore
I feel sorrow to be leaving
Your green land forevermore
But as we’re sailing on the ocean
With each day at we are out at sea
All the dreams I had for years now
Draw nearer reality

For 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


So fare thee well Indiana
