Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander to find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin' why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I'd better go home
Why did I wonder
To find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin' why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I'd better go home
