Audio transcript:

It was 1820

When she was born

And raised up in the cool shade

Of those old sycamores

She saw a nation growing,

Then torn apart

And rebuilt even stronger

With the crossroads at its heart

Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you

She taught all her children

To lend a helping hand

Some were doctors and teachers

Some fought in foreign lands

The cream and crimson

Run through our veins

Like the moonlit Wabash

Across the Hoosier state

Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you

So raise a banner,

Raise a glass

To our alma mater’s past

Here’s to Herman and Hoagy

And Hoosier pride

To light and truth and love

That we feel inside

For Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you.

So come and join

In song together

Shout with might and main

Oh, our beloved alma mater

Sound her praise again

It was 1820

When she was born
