Way down in Ohio Way down in Ohio Where that river flows Lived a man of gold With eyes that looked into yours And lips that sung the words of the Lord And hands that knew some chords Enough to get by, Oh God, it's true Wait for me awhile As I cast another line Real it slowly now My angel by my side My angel by my side He whispered to me once oh, son When love comes don't you don't you run Hmm He whispered softly to me son Down by the water's edge So cast another line out And real it in so In love it stays when time is good Mmm, hmm Ohio Ohio Ohio
