Added by gorden-gibson, 18 Aug 2014 The first lyrics were written in 1918 by Ballard MacDonald and the music by Robert A. "Bobo" King, who used the name Mary Earl. The melody is partly based on "Song of India" by Rimsky-Korsakov and "Beautiful Dreamer" by Stephen Foster. A bill passed by the Ohio General Assembly in 1969 made it the state's official song and in 1989 adopted an amendment to section 5.09 of the Ohio Revised Code which changed the original words to a new set, written by Wilbert McBride.
