My little brother was just ten years old
D G D G
When we hit bad weather and hid in the hole
D G D G
We could see Texas was only a mile
D G D G
And oh, little brother, I remember your smile
D C G D C G
At Indianola
D G D G
My dad built a sawmill of cypreses and stone
D G D G
It was here on Madena that we made our home
D G D G
The year 1850 and I sent for my girl
D G D G
Oh Frauline, come meet me in this brand new world
D C G D C G
At Indianola
D G D G
The war they call civil had barely begun
D G D G
Me and my cousins decided we'd run
D G D G
Up through Louisianan to meet up with Grant
D G D G
But one hundred damn rebels shot us there in the sand
D C G D C G
At Indianola
D G D G
They said up in New York, the stock market fell
D G D G
And the life they was livin' was shot all to hell
D G D G
But we ain't seen nothin' no different than dust
D G D G
Sept the wheels on the wagon all covered with rust
D C G D C G
At Indianola
D G D G
When that scrape with old Hitler was over and done
D G D G
And I wondered if I could kill kin with my gun
D G D G
But we sat there in Paris in a little cafe
D G D G
And as they toasted Truman, I drifted away
D C G D C G
To Indianola
D G D G
But it's fifty years later and nobody cares
D G D G
About some old city that ain't even there
D G D G
Well, my sons moved to Houston, And they work in the Gulf
D G D G
With seven days on and seven days off
D G D G
Well I work for the doctor that bought our old ranch
D G D G
From first quality federal the foreclosures branch
D G D G
And he calls me hillbilly and he laughs at my hair
D G D G
But the cancer will get him if anything's fair
D G D G
And I'll take his ashes and throw from my boat
D G D G
As acrossed that ocean I'm going to float
D C G D C G
To find me another Indianola
D C G D C G
Indianola
D C G D C G
