The Indiana Man Lyrics by American Murder Song

Murder Ballads of 1816: The Year Without a Summer

2017

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 rising
And he'll keep on rising
And he'll keep on rising 'til the kingdom come
