Ohio State Song

Beautiful Ohio

"Beautiful Ohio" became the state song in 1969.  The music was composed by Mary Earl, and the original lyrics were written by Ballard McDonald.  In. 1989, the Ohio legislature adopted an amendment to change the words to the song.  The new lyrics are the work of Youngstown attorney Wilbert McBride.
