lyrics

Pretty Little Indiana Farm


Chorus:
Pretty little Indiana farm
Working that field, doing no harm
Many's the chore, many's the charm
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Cow in the pasture singing to me
A finer song and we agree
The sound is sweet and the stars are free
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Chicken in the field, move that pen
Evening comes, better move it again
Turn a little bitty chick into a big fat hen
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Chucking that manure between those rows
Spring is here and the wind she blows
Little too much for this old nose
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Middle of the night, a quarter past three
Dogs are barking at a critter they see
It's a late night barnyard symphony
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Farmer's daughter, sweet as can be
Boyfriend smiles and winks at me
Taking that walk to the old oak tree
On a pretty little Indiana farm

Sky is blue and the field is brown
Clouds are pink when the sun goes down
At the edge of the sky at the edge of the town
By the pretty little Indiana farm
