  *++Lyrics|\\
Long, long ago\\
Someone I know\\
Had a little red canoe,\\
In it room for only two.\\
Love found its start\\
Then in my heart\\
And like a flower grew.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
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\\
Visons of what used to be.\\
\\

    *Ballard MacDonald (1882-1935), 1918
  *++Lyrics|\\
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!\\
\\
