Popular song composed by James F. Hanley with lyrics by Ballard MacDonald. It was heavily influenced by the state song of Indiana, "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away", published by Paul Dresser in 1913. The Original Dixieland Jass Band's 1917 recording (with "Darktown Strutters' Ball") is one of the earliest recorded jazz performances. The song has been used as part of the Indianapolis 500 pre-race ceremonies since 1946, with the alternative title "Back Home Again in Indiana". The tradition is most closely associated with Jim Nabors, who has performed the song almost every year since 1973. The song is one of the most popular pre-1920s standards, and its chord progression has been used in numerous jazz compositions, including Miles Davis's 1947 tune "Donna Lee"
