Lyrics
  • And it’s simply grand just to shake the hand Of each friend I used to know, I am mighty proud of my home town crowd, And I want the world to know. Refrain: I’m from Ohio, I’m from Ohio, There is nothing half so fine As that “Buckeye State” of mine. I’m from Ohio, Dear old Ohio ‘Round my home my heart strings twine It’s the land of Grant and Sherman, McKinley, Garfield, too, And you’ll hear from sev’ral others Before this war is through, Wilson picked a his’try maker, When he sent for Newton Baker, And he’s from Ohio, too. Verse: Ev’ry face I see seems to smile at me, With the smile I used to know And the boys I meet on the old time street Bring me back the long ago I have stood today where I used to play In the dear old days of yore I would give a lot to be on that spot Just to be child once more. Refrain
  • I’m From Ohio Verse: There’s a land I know where the Buckeyes grow, That I always long to see, It’s the only state out of forty eight That is “home sweet home” to me
