DRIFTIN' DOWN THE DREAMY OL' OHIO
(Jack Elliot / Harold Spina)

Jo Stafford


I'm going driftin' down the dreamy ol' Ohio on a midnight moonlight ride 
Oh it's so lovey, dovey, on the ol' Ohio with my darling by my side, 
On the Ohio, the lights along the shadowy shore wink as we go by 
And even the man up in the moon knows the reason why. 

I'm going driftin' down the dreamy ol' Ohio on a midnight moonlight ride. 
Driftin' down the dreamy ol' Ohio what a midnight moonlight ride. 
Oh it's so lovey dovey on the ol' Ohio with my darling by my side. 
The lights along the shadowy shore wink as we go by 
And even the man up in the moon knows the reason why. 

I'm going driftin' down the dreamy ol' Ohio, 
Down the ol' Ohio, on a magic moonlight ride. 
Oh it's so lovey, dovey, on the ol' Ohio, 
(on the ol' Ohio) on a magic moonlight ride, 
Driftin' along on a moonlight ride!
