Subject: RE: Origins: Indiana (Andy Mitchell)
Farewell now, Indiana
Your green land has been good to me
There I've traveled, there 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 say, say that I'm crazy
going back to such poverty
Americay is, so they say now,
The land of opportunity
But the stag? it runs so swiftly
And the heron slowly flies
These are treasures from my homeland
Of your money can not buy

Now when our ship lies in the harbour
I'm will look back upon that shore
I feel sadness that I'm leaving
Your green land for evermore
Now when the ship lies on the ocean
And each day, we are out on the sea
All my dreams I, had for years now
Drawing nearer reality

Farewell now, Indiana

As recorded by Stravaig
