Ohio (1953 Original Broadway Cast) - Rosalind Russell/Edith Adams

Oh Ruth

Now Eileen everything's

Going to be alright

It's awful

Try and sleep dear

I can't sleep

Now you gotta try

Make your mind a blank

I did

But I keep thinking of Ohio

Me too

Why oh why oh why oh

Why did I ever leave Ohio

Why did I wander

To find what lies yonder

When life was so cosy at home

Wonderin' while 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

Now listen Eileen Ohio was stifling

We just couldn't wait to get out o' the place

With mom saying Ruth what no date for this evening

And pop with Eileen do be home dear by ten

Ugh

Those gossipy neighbours and everyone yappin' who's goin' with who

And dating those drips that I've known since I'm four

The kiwanis club dance

On the basketball floor

Cousin maude with her lectures on sin

What a bore

Jerry black

Cousin min

Ezra nye

Hannah finn

Just hopeless

Babbity

Stuffy

Provincial

Thank heavens we're free

Why oh why oh why oh

Why did we ever I leave Ohio

Wonderin' while we wander

Why did we fly why did we roam

Oh why oh why oh

Did we leave Ohio

Maybe we'd better go

O H I O

Maybe we'd better go home
