Lyrics
- Some how it seems
Just at the close of the day
Wherever I roam, I think about home
I seem to drift farther and farther away
But I’d never be blue if wishes came true
I’m blue ’cause
Chorus
I want to wake up in the morning
And hear the birdies say “Good Morning”
The way they always say “Good Morning”
In my Ohio home
I want to ramble ‘mid the roses
I know just where to find the roses
I used to ramble ‘mid the roses
In my Ohio home
Got to thinking it over
At the close of the day
Got to dreaming of clover
And the new mown hay, and say
I want to wonder in the moonlight
And meet my sweetie in the moonlight
I used to meet her in the moonlight
In my Ohio home
- Feeling this way
Just ’cause it’s gettin’ toward spring
Each blossoming tree is beckoning me
Only today I heard a meadowlark sing
And his little old song said “Hurry along”
I’m blue ’cause
