Down By The Ohio

Abe Olman, Jack Yellen.

Down by the O-Hi-O -
I’ve got the sweetest little O-My-O -

I’m going right back there,
To meet her and then -

O - picture me when -
I put my arms around her -

And kiss her again -
Down by the O-Hi-O -

She’s just a simple little country girl I know -
So far she’s only raised a hen and a cow.

But she’ll be raising something different now.
After we’re O-My-O -

Just wait till I get back to O-Hi-O -

Down by the O-Hi-O -
I’ve got the sweetest little O-My-O -

She doesn’t dress up to date, as she might -
Her clothes are a sight -

But when she’s in the moonlight.
I’ll say she’s allright -

How can she O-My-O -
She’s just a simple little country girl I know -

Some fellows think that country girlies are slow.
But if they knew one half the things that I know -

They’d take the B and O -
And they’d be heading straight for

O-Hi-O -
