Verse:
I have always been a wand'rer,
Over land and sea,
Yet a moonbeam on the water,
Casts a spell o'er 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 shining bright,
Thru the sycamores for me.
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance,
From the fields I used to roam.
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash,
Then I long for my Indiana home.
