I fell in love with it as a kid hearing it hear. Great tune to sing to. Too bad Mitch Miller and his gang didn't record it as it would be perfect for them. |
Subject: Lyr Add: IN A LITTLE RED BARN (ON A FARM DOWN IN.. From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Feb 08 - 06:36 AM Found in, of all things, Wikipedia. IN A LITTLE RED BARN (ON A FARM DOWN IN INDIANA) (Joe Young, Jean Schwartz, and Milton Ager; 1934.) 1. I was born 'way down in Indiana, Wish that I were there right now. Want to hear my dog bow-wow When I go to milk the cow. Raised on corn 'way down in Indiana, So was ev'ry little hen. I was mighty happy then; Wish that I were back a-gain: CHORUS: In a little red barn on a farm down in Indiana, Let me lay my back on a stack of new mown hay. 'Round the barnyard where the farmyard folks are pally, Let me dilly-dally all the live-long day. I'm a Hoosier who's blue, thru and thru, and my heart is pining For the sycamore trees where the Wabash breezes play. What's more, I'm pining for a yellow moon that's shining On a little red barn on a farm down Indiana way. 2. Work was done 'way down in Indiana, Picked the eggs the chickens lay; Pushed the plow and pitched the hay; Ev'ry day a busy day. Had my fun 'way down in Indiana When the sun would go to rest. Saw it sinkin' in the West; That's the time I liked the best. |

Subject: RE: Little Red Barn Down on the Farm in Indiana From: John Date: 01 Sep 97 - 08:31 PM Hullo All, I've been absent for quite some time. It's great to be back. The song as I know it was recorded by an Australian country group known as The Overlanders (I think) in the 1940's and is part of a two album collection called "History of Australian Country Music". I recorded excerpts of this from Melourne ABC radio in the early 70's, so cannot be too emphatic about the details. It's rather a cute collection with some interesting songs. For our non Australian friends I would note that the pronunciation on the recording is "Indi-ah-nah".
(1) In a little red barn on a farm down in Indiana
(2) Round the barnyard where the farmyard bulls are pal-ly
(3) I'm a hooter who's blue, through and through, and my heart is pining,
(4) Once more I'm pining for a yellow moon that's shining, The chords as best I can visualise them without an instrument close by go something like below: (I can tidy this up as necessary when I get back in about a week's time.)
(1) C D7 G7 C (C7) One of the reasons I love this song is the potential it has for vocal harmonies. It's a real hoot! It reminds me a bit of "Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia" in terms of chords and general feel - which I first heard on a Laurel and Hardy movie as a kid.

Subject: RE: Little Red Barn Down on the Farm in Indiana From: becca@jaguNET.com Date: 29 Aug 97 - 07:34 AM Here are some of the words:
Let me lay my back on a stack of new-mown hay In the barnyard where the farmyard folks are pal-ly Let me dilly-dally all the livelong day I know the tune, but not the chords. If someone doesn't post chords here soon, let me know and I'll figure them out. |

Subject: Little Red Barn Down on the Farm in Indiana From: sparks@ncst.nrl.navy.mil Date: 28 Aug 97 - 03:22 PM When I was a little kid my grandfather would play the guitar and sing a song about a "Little Red Barn Down on the Farm in Indiana". I'm not sure of the title but the lyrics definately similar to this. If anyone knows the chords and lyrics, I would appreciate them very much. Thanks, Keith sparks@ncst.nrl.navy.mil |
