Lyrics
Well, Johnson's Van Dyke Grigsby was paroled at eighty-nine
He'd never walked on a carpet, never tasted dinner wine
His old eyes were slowly fading as he walked out of the gate
And he breathed the first free air he'd breathed since 1908
Howdy do, Michigan City, you're sure a pretty sight
Well, I know there's bigger cities and more exciting nights
But I think your girls are pretty and I love your children too
Michigan City, Indiana, howdy do!
Michigan City, Indiana, howdy do
Filled with the joy of freedom, he didn't know that he was old
'Cause time don't really matter when it's bubbling in your soul
Well, I don't think he was bitter 'cause he sure had a smile
And down the streets of Michigan City he walked his first free mile
Howdy do, Michigan City, you're sure a pretty sight
Well, I know there's bigger cities and more exciting nights
But I think your girls are pretty and I love your children too
Michigan City, Indiana, howdy do!
Michigan City, Indiana, howdy do
