Indianola Charlie Robison
My little brothe[D]r was just ten ye[G]ars old[D] [G]
[D]when we hit ba[G]d weather and[D] hid in the [G]hole

[D] and o little br[G]other i[D] remember your [G]smile
at indianola...[D]..[C] [G] [D] [C] [G]
[D]my dad built a[G] sawmill [D]of cyprees and [G]stone
[D]it was here on [G]madena th[D]at we made our h[G]ome
[D]the year 18[G]50 and [D]i sent for my [G]girl
[D]o frauline come [G]meet me [D]in this brand new [G]world
at indianola....[D]..[C] [G] [D] [C] [G]

[D]and that scr*pe w[G]ith old hitl[D]er was over and[G] done
[D]and i wondered if[G] i cou[D]ld kill kin with m[G]y gun

[D]and as they toaste[G]d truma[D]n i drifted [G]away
to indianola...[D]...[C]..[G] [D] [C] [G]
