Hoosier Harmony!
“There’s a melody that ever haunts me,
Always in my memory,
Makes me homesick, lonesome, gives me such longing,
for I hear it calling me.
Softly on the breeze, whisp’ring thru the trees,
Comes this Indiana Lullaby,
Always in my dreams, day and night it seems,
I can hear it’s plaintive little sigh.
There’s a tugging at my heart-strings,
Indiana’s calling me,
So I’ll be going soon, just to hear the croon,
Of that sweet old Indiana Lullaby.*
