Lyrics
Round my Indiana homestead wave the cornfields In the distance loom the woodlands clear and cool Often times my tho'ts revert to scenes of childhood Where i first received my lessons nature school But one thing there is missing in the picture Without her face it seems so incomplete I long to see my mother in the doorway As she stood there years ago, her boy to greet Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash, From the fields there comes the breath of new mown hay. Thro' the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming, On the banks of the Wabash, far away. Many years have passed since i strolled by the river Arm in arm with sweetheart Mary by my side It was there i tried to tell her that i loved her It was there i begged of her to be my bride Long years have passed since i strolled thro' the church yard She's sleeping there my angel Mary dear I loved her but she thought i didn't mean it Still i'd give my future were she only here Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash, From the fields there comes the breath of new mown hay. Thro' the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming, On the banks of the Wabash, far away.
