Subject: RE: Tune Req: Folk Songs With Indiana Connections
The cowboy song, "Sam Bass" begins:

Sam Bass was born in Indiana, it was his native home
And at the age of 17 young Sam began to roam,

This song moves to Texas pretty quickly though!

Waylon Jennings' song "GREEN RIVER" ---flows into the Ohio River just east of Evansville.

Craig Johnson's fine song "NEW HARMONY" -- sung by Jim Ringer on his Folk Legacy Records CD.

of course "The Wabash Cannonball"

and the one called "Shawneetown"
