The Indiana Man

What the land did send
What the land did send
When the old world passed
O ye sons of men
Now a city shines
On the grave, amen
What the land did send
What the land did send
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
With a brand new bible and a big, big gun.
He rose from the fire with the deed in his hand
Like Saul from the old ash tree
«Damn their treaties, damn their kings
I’ve got a gun named Destiny!»
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
With a brand new bible and a big, big gun.
He rose from the chapel with the deed in his hand
And a sermon pointing west
«I've brought the killing to Prophetstown,
There ain’t no prophets left!»
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
With a brand new bible and a big, big gun.
He rose from the mountain with the deed in his hand
And a scar upon his cheek
«I've drawn blood from every stick,
And baptized in the creek!»
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
With a brand new bible and a big, big gun.
He rose from the water with the deed in his hand
And a new world to redeem
«Eighteen states from this indian land,
Come December, there’ll be nineteen!»
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
Who’s that preachin'?
The Indiana man
With a brand new bible and a big, big gun.
And he’ll keep on risin',
And he’ll keep on risin',
And he’ll keep on risin',
'Til the kingdom come.
