(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
I can hear 'em callin' hogs in the clear Ioway air
I can sniff the fragrant whiff of an Ioway rose.
[Chorus]
You've got Ioway in your heart
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
I've got Ioway in my hair
I've got Ioway in my ears and eyes and nose.
Oh I know all I owe I owe Ioway
I owe Ioway all I owe and I know why
I am Ioway born and bred
And on Ioway corn I'm fed
Not to mention her barley wheat and rye.
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake]) & [Chorus]
I owe Ioway for her ham and her beef and her lamb
And her strawberry jam and her pie.
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
I owe Ioway more than I can ever pay
So I think i'll move to Californi-a.
[Chorus]
What a shame
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
What a shame.
[Chorus]
What a shame
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
What a shame.
[Chorus]
You'll be good and gosh-darn sorry when you go
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
Don't I know.
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
When you leave your native state
You'll be feelin' far from great
You'll be good and gosh-darn sorry when you go.
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
I'm a seed of Ioway grain
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
You're a breeze that Ioway blue
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
I'm a drop of Ioway rain
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards]) & [Chorus]
You're a drip of Ioway dew.
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
Oh I know all I owe I owe Ioway
I owe Ioway all I owe and I know why
I am Ioway born and bred
And on Ioway corn I'm fed
Not to mention her barley wheat and rye.
I owe Ioway for her ham and her beef
And her lamb
(Charles Winninger [as Abel Frake])
And their strawberry jam
(Faye Bainter [as Melissa Frake])
And her pie
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
That's right.
(Charles Winninger [as Abel Frake])
I owe Ioway more than anyone should owe
So I think i'll start in owin' Idaho.
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
All together.
(All less Winninger)
What a shame
(Charles Winninger [as Abel Frake])
What a shame
(All less Winninger)
What a shame
(Charles Winninger [as Abel Frake])
What a shame
(All less Winninger)
You'll be cryin' like a baby when you go
(Charles Winninger [as Abel Frake])
Don't I know.
When I leave my native heath
With my lip between my teeth
I'll be bawlin' like a booby when I go.
(Vivian Blaine [as Emily Edwards])
You're a seed of Ioway grain
You're a breeze of Ioway blue
(Donald Meek [as Hippenstahl])
I'm a drop of Ioway rain
(Faye Bainter [as Melissa Frake])
You're a drip of Ioway dew.
(All)
Oh I know all I owe I owe Ioway
I owe Ioway all I owe and I know why
I am Ioway born and bred
And on Ioway corn I'm fed
Not to mention her barley wheat and rye.
I owe Ioway for her ham and her beef
And her lamb
And her strawberry jam
And her pie.
I owe Ioway more than anyone should owe
So I think i'll start in owin' Idaho.
Better stay better stay
You'll be feelin' gosh darn sorry if you go
(Dick Haymes [as Wayne Frake])
Don't I know.
(All)
When you leave you native state
You'll be feeling far from great
You'll be good and gosh darn sorry when you go.
I owe Ioway for her ham and her beef
And her lamb
And her strawberry jam
And her pie.
I owe Ioway more than I can ever pay
So I think i'll move to Californi-a.
I-O-W

I-O-W AY
Hooray
Ioway!
Yeah!
