Beautiful Ohio
Lyrics by Ballard MacDonald and Wilbert B. McBride | ||||
|
I sailed away; Wandered afar; Crossed the mighty restless sea; Looked for where I ought to be. Cities so grand, mountains above, Led to this land I love. Chorus Beautiful Ohio, where the golden grain Dwarf the lovely flowers in the summer rain. Cities rising high, silhouette the sky. Freedom is supreme in this majestic land; Mighty factories seem to hum in tune, so grand. Beautiful Ohio, thy wonders are in view, Land where my dreams all come true! Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream While above the Heavens in their glory gleam And the stars on high Twinkle in the sky Seeming in a paradise of love divine Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see Visions of what used to be. The song was adopted in 1989 as offical state song. | ||||
