Name of the little ditty is:
IN A LITTLE RED BARN (On A Farm Down In Indiana)
Lyrics
IN A LITTLE RED BARN
By Joe Young, Jean Schwartz & Milton Ager
Copyright 1934
1st Verse:
I was born ‘way down in Indiana,
Wish that I were there right now.
Want to hear my dog bow-wow
When I go to milk the cow.
Raised on corn ‘way down in Indiana,
So was ev’ry little hen.
I was mighty happy then;
Wish that I were back a-gain:
CHORUS:
In a little red barn on a farm down in Indiana,
Let me lay my back on a stack of new mown hay.
‘Round the barnyard where the farmyard folks are pal-ly,
Let me dilly-dally all the live-long day.
I’m a Hoosier who’s blue, thru and thru, and my heart is pining
For the sycamore trees where the Wabash breezes play.
What’s more, I’m pining for a yellow moon that’s shining
On a little red barn on a farm down Indiana way.
2nd Verse:
Work was done ‘way down in Indiana,
Picked the eggs the chickens lay;
Pushed the plow and pitched the hay;
Ev’ry day a busy day.
Had my fun ‘way down in Indiana
When the sun would go to rest.
Saw it sinkin’ in the West;
That’s the time I liked the best.
CHORUS: Repeat

Thanks for helping guys! Have bookmarked the links as one can never have too much Bugs.
Goat Farmer, thought YOU would know this little ditty! *LOL* Though it may be a tad before your time, but it seems to have been a hit. But then Indiana was different in the 1930's, wasn't it?
Ok, who can play a washboard? It's time for a sing along!!!
