The Lovely Ohio

The Lovely Ohio - Ed McCurdy

Written by：Traditional

Come all ye brisk young fellows who have a mind to roam

All to some foreign counteree

A long way from home

All to some foreign counteree along with me to go

And we'll settle on the banks of the lovely ohio

Settle on the banks of the lovely ohio

Come all you pretty fair maids

Spin us some yarn

To make us some nice clothing to keep ourselves warm

For you can knit and sew

My loves while we do reap and mow

When we settle on the banks of the lovely ohio

Settle on the banks of the lovely ohio

There are fishes in the river

Just fitted for our use

There's tall and lofty sugar cane

That will give to us it's juice

There's every kind of game

My boys beside the buck and doe

When we settle on the banks of the lovely ohio

Settle on the banks of the lovely ohio
