Springtime In Southern Ohio

When spring comes to the hills of Southern Ohio

There is much beauty God will bring to these hills

Green will blanket and hide Winter’s barren land

Water will now run freely along those ice free rills

Soon the beauty of the dogwood will dot the hills

Redbud will add beauty to please a searching eye

Although Winter has been very mild to us this year

We still will be glad to tell the Wintertime goodbye

It is time to hear the crack of the bat hitting a baseball

Hear the children out in fields where they are playing

We will talk to the parents that are watching their kids

It is many proud things about the kids they are saying

You might say that I am in love with these hills of Ohio

I was born and most of my eighty five years lived here

Different places in this world I have been fortunate to see

But the wonderful hills here in Southern Ohio are so dear
