Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"

She laughed and pointed out east

She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother

And I haven't seen her since thirteen.

You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping

By my father's hired man

We moved to city so far from my family

I haven't been back there since.

It's been a long time, a real long time."

Out from my window please hear me Ohio

Your daughter wants to come home

She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you

To never leave her alone

And I've gotten know her to live with to love her

It's hard to see her leave

She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio

I wish she belonged to me

See you sometime, see you sometime
