Published: 1917
I have always been a wanderer
Over land and sea
Yet a moonbeam on the water
Casts a spell over me
A vision fair I see
Again I seem to be
[Chorus]
Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight, still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me
The new-mowed hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
How I long for my Indiana home
Fancy paints on memory's canvas
Scenes that we hold dear
We recall them in days after
Clearly they appear
And often times I see
A scene that's dear to me
