I just got a letter from a Hoosier girl of mine
She said, "Sweetie dear, I wish that you were here".
Kissin' that I'm missin' makes me long for her again
So I'm going to pack my grip and hop aboard a train
To see my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as a baby grand piana
Not very nifty
She weighs two-fifty
But a great big fat girl now and then
Is relished by the best of men
Anna in Indiana
Will have my arms as far around her as they go
I'm all through with Broadway Sally
How I long for hills and valley
I'm going back to Indiana

Anna will be at the train to meet me with the flivver
She always brings the lambs and pigs when e'er she comes to town
Just for extra company she brings the chickens with her
I stand up going home and let the animals sit down
I'll be drinking sasperilla with her brother and her pa
The Reubens will be dancing to "The Turkey in the Straw"
They'll know I'm from the city by the color of my neck
But I don't care by heck.

I'll see my Anna from Indiana
She's just as playful as a baby grand piana
She owns one acre
I'm going to make her
Go and find a place to live up-town
She hides the farm when she sits down
Anna in Indiana
Will have my arms as far around her as they'll go
When I buy her sasperiller
She thinks I'm a Rockerfeller
I'm going back to Indiana
To wed my Anna in Indiana
She's just as playful as a baby grand piana
With all the women
She went in swimmin'
But the women started in to shake
For fear she'd overflow the lake
Anna in Indiana
Will have my arms as far around her as they go
She's not rough, she's sentimental
She's not Jewish, she is gentle
I'm going back to Indiana
