Beautiful Ohio Lyrics

MUSIC BY MARY EARL    LYRICS BY BALLARD MACDONALD

 

 

 8-BAR INTRO 

 

 VERSE 

 

 LONG, LONG A-GO, SOME-ONE I KNOW 

 HAD A LIT-TLE RED CA-NOE, 

 IN IT ROOM FOR ON-LY TWO, 

 LOVE FOUND ITS START, THEN IN MY HEART 

 AND LIKE A FLOW-ER GREW: 

 

 CHORUS 

 

 DRIFT-ING WITH THE CUR-RENT DOWN A MOON-LIT STREAM 

 WHILE A-BOVE THE HEAV-ENS IN THEIR GLO-RY GLEAM 

 AND THE STARS ON HIGH, TWIN-KLE IN THE SKY 

 SEEM-ING IN A PAR-A-DISE OF LOVE DI-VINE 

 DREAM-ING OF A PAIR OF EYES THAT LOOKED IN MINE 

 BEAU-TI-FUL O-HI-O, IN DREAMS A-GAIN I SEE 

 VI-SIONS OF WHAT USED TO BE.
