BUCKEYE BOYS

Just a bunch of Ohio boys
Takin’ in the Charleston joys.
Ain’t it fine, ain’t it grand
Bein’ in this sunny land!
Ain’t it fine and ain’t it grand
To be in this sunny land!
Just a bunch of Ohio boys.
Skinny dippin’ off the pier,
Smokin’ dope an’ drinkin’ beer.
Ain’t it fine, ain’t it grand
Bein’ in this sunny land!
Ain’t it fine an’ ain’t it grand
To be in this sunny land.
Just a bunch of Ohio boys.

Combin’ for the ocean shells.
Lovin’ all the Southern belles.
Ain’t it fine, ain’t it grand
Bein’ in this sunny land!
Ain’t it fine an’ ain’t it grand
To be in this sunny land.
Just a bunch of Ohio boys.
Driftin’ out in sailin' sloops,
Fishin’, eatin’ she-crab soup—
Ain’t it fine! Ain’t it grand
Bein’ in this sunny land!
Ain’t it fine an’ ain’t it grand
To be in this sunny land!
Just a bunch of Ohio boys.

Flowin’ robes an’ burnin’ crosses,
Black men bowin’ to the bosses.
Aint’t it fine, ain’t it grand
Bein’ in this sunny land?
Just a bunch of Ohio boys, Buckeye boys.
