Doris Day - Ohio Lyrics






Why oh why oh why oh
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander to find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin' why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I'd better go home
Why did I wonder
To find what lies yonder?
Life was so cosy at home
Wondrin' why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I'd better go home

    When I opened this video, I got a CircleK ad, and skipped it as soon as it said "Why are Circle K's one dollar hot dogs so awesome, it makes hungry kids sound like this..." and then this song played.


    Lesson of the day, feed your kids Circle K hot dogs if you want them to sound like Doris Day.

    Ohio weather sucks! There are a few nice spring days and fall days. Summer is stifling and winter is cruel. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

    Well, now you gone and done it. If there's 1 place I would have ever left Ohio for, it's Colorado. I've been there 26 times and the only reason I don't move is that my skiing days are now over.

    l.... ....

    Joey Jamison
    Ohio is really not that bad but the dampness of the air really gets to you after while. Damp in summer and damp in the winter. Still go back to visit family. there are some places in Ohio I missed truly but would never go back just to live.

    just in case people were wondering, as it seems lots of people don't know, this is from "wonderful town", a musical adapted from a play adapted from a series of articles published in the new yorker by ruth mckenney (who grew up in ohio and left for NYC and lived in a terrible basement apartment with her sister)

  32. L.... G....

    I first heard it on TV, Glee
    So I found this song here.

    Doug...do you ever  feel like singing this song?

  35. j.... b....

    Being from OHIO originally, I love this song. Only another OHIO girl could do it justice. Aren't we lucky Doris was the one! Love Doris

    j.... b....

    I always wondered how Doris felt when she sang this song. I'm sure it had great meaning to her. She certainly does it justice !! I'm with you ... love Doris !

  36. D.... ....

    I agree .... she is one of the best !! So happy you enjoyed !

  37. l.... ....

    Doris Day doesn't get enough credit

  38. D.... ....

    I love this song from Doris ... grew up listening to the Show Time album. So happy you enjoyed the album covers too !!

  39. C.... D....

    Doris Day has such a gorgeous voice. She makes the song beautiful and the presentation of album covers was a great thing to watch whole the song was playing. Thanks for putting that together.

  40. D.... ....

    @montserrat533 You are so welcome ....I know Doris' music helps me get through the day !
    Have a wonderful week ... = )

  41. D.... ....

    @MrRocky9000 I love all those record album covers. I haven't seen the new cd yet. I'd love to have it .. maybe soon. Happy you enjoyed this .. its such a great song from Doris !

  42. c.... t....

    Wondefrul pics of the beautiful Doris Day and her voice is amazing. Hope all the DD fans have seen the new 2011 promotional pic of Doris for her new cd. She is still beautiful and she is shown holding her beloved little doggie " Duffy "s a recent addition to her pet family.

  43. D.... ....

    @lydiaisagleek Yep ... and Doris is from Ohio too. She was born in Evanston and lived in the Cincinnati area.
    It is a great song ... so happy you enjoyed !!

  44. D.... ....

    @frontviolet Well..... I'm a huge fan .. but I guess you can tell that ! This is actually from one of my favorite albums.... Show Time. Great music ... every song is a winner ( except the intro and ending .. kind of don't like them but its supposed to be Broadway-ish) Really great music on this album. I have all her movies and we've been watching them in order... lots of fun ! Really happy you enjoyed... =)

  45. M.... ....

    i love ohio =) i mean like.. Glee's based here :D whats not to love?

  46. D.... ....

    @MMfan1997 Yes she was. In a suburb of Cincinnati !I'm with you there ... love her too !

  47. D.... ....

    @wkunzelman1 Well ... Doris is from Ohio too !! It is a small world !

  48. W.... K....

    It seems like loads of people I've seen on the internet (myself included) live in Ohio, more specifically the South-West region of Ohio. It's a small world.

  49. D.... ....

    @nosamici Thanks for the info ... I kind of suspected that but wasn't sure.

  50. T.... R....

    I live in Ohio too.

  51. s.... ....

    where i can download this song?

  52. D.... ....

    @gmagic911X Yes... its actually the 3rd of April. I'm really going to miss the radio birthday show they used to do from Monterey. Last year just wasn't the same without that show. Oh well .. it was fun for the years they did it.
    Maybe the other radio station will do it. I forget where it was. I'm going to have to look into that !
    Thank you ... really happy you enjoyed !!

  53. g.... ....

    Doris is the best. She has a birthday coming up on April 4. Happy birthday, to the all time greatest female singer!

  54. D.... ....

    @PollyOfficial I always wondered how Doris felt when she sang this ... also being from Ohio.

  55. P.... ....

    I live in Ohio (:

  56. D.... ....

    @torridscene Sorry - I don't know .. I just listed what was on the Bear Family set. Wish it listed that information . I'm with you .. it would be good to know.

  57. t.... ....

    Dayniac -- So good of you to list the musicians. But tell me, who was the arranger on this track? Arrangers are important, they're basically why the song sounds the way it does.

  58. D.... ....

    @frontviolet Its from her Show Time album. I love all the songs on it. I grew up listening to it .. since I was about 10. I'm with you ... love love love her !
    So happy you found this and enjoyed !!

  59. f.... ....

    I have never heard this song until I was watching an episode of the tv show Glee and Carol Burnett sang this song, and I Carol but was ecstatic that my favorite Doris Day sang this song. Is this just a regular album recording or was it from a movie? I am only 21 but grew up with the Day classics and recently just got three of her movies on dvd! Love, love, love her! (And Rock too!) :) thanks!

  60. D.... ....

    @montserrat533 I used to really like it .. but now it just seems to be the only movie that really fits into that perennial virgin tag they stuck on her. None of her other movies fit - which is why its so crazy she got tagged with that. I love the scenes with John Astin - they are really funny. For me - she and Cary just didn't fit. But we're going to watch it soon so I'll see how I feel about it now !! =)

  61. D.... ....

    @montserrat533 My DD time is driving to and from work .. listen to her music evey day. We've been watching her movies in order and it sure is fun !! We're up to That Touch of Mink.

  62. D.... ....

    @montserrat533 Thank you... I'll check later... and I'll send you my letter ... just for your eyes too. Have a great week ... Toni

  63. D.... ....

    @joe133322 So happy you enjoyed !!

  64. D.... ....

    @Jamesmac30 I love this song along with all the songs on her Show Time album. I grew up listening to it and still love it. I don't know the dates for each record in the video. ( I can kind of estimate the year by her hairdo's ! ) I did just add the notes for this song. So happy you enjoyed !!

  65. J.... M....

    Thanks for this posting - Never heard this song before - love your video -do you have the recording dates to go with the songs?

  66. D.... ....

    @nycbassist Well ... I guess you can tell I definitely think she's a great singer !
    No one would want to hear me try these lyrics either !! haha ! Thank you .. really
    happy you enjoyed !

  67. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 Hi Dayniac, I was trying to reply to your Sentimental Journey comment when I find your video is not there anymore? What happened? Thank you for the comment though about Sentimental Journey.

  68. D.... ....

    @astralagosto Yes it is. Did you find an apartment ? Hope so !! Take care.

  69. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 Hi Dayniac, I'm sorry I haven't replied lately. I've been busy looking for an apartment , therefore, I haven't had time to check Youtube.

    It's great Doris knows that many people still love her.

  70. D.... ....

    @astralagosto It is pretty amazing ! She has to know how many people still love her... but at the same time I think she's amazed by it !

  71. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 It's great she gets about 200 letters a week. Wow!!!!!!
    I'm glad she's still popular.

  72. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 It's great that her music catalog sells a multiple of 2 or 3 times what it did the previous the year. I'm glad there is a continuing interest in her, with absolutely no encouragement on her part.

  73. D.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 cont...I think she gets about as much mail today as she got in 1960 - two hundred letters a week. "
    Thats about10,000 letters a year. Considering she left the entertaiment business behind some 35 years ago !

  74. D.... ....

    @astralagosto I think she is completely surprised by it. Here's a quote from Terry -Her music catalog each year seems to sell a multiple of 2 or 3 times what it did the previous year. I think she's very surprised - almost amazed - that there would be a continuing interest, with absolutely no encouragement on her part.

  75. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 I think she knows she's popular. She shouldn't be surprised that she's popular.....she's such a great singer and actress. I'm glad her popularity is on the increase. I hope that her music will get the credit it deserves too. I wish she had gone to the Grammy ceremony to get her Honorary Grammy.
    Have a great week!!!

  76. D.... ....

    @astralagosto I hope she does know. From what I've heard - she is totally surprised and amazed that she is still so popular. It seems to me that her
    popularity is on the increase. I hope her music will finally get the credit it
    deserves. Have a great week !!

  77. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 It's great that you sent her some of your videos in November.....and that she sent you a lovely letter back. I think she enjoys them so don't worry hahahahahahaha
    It's great that she still receives as much or more mail than when she was making movies. I'm happy she's still more popular......hope she knows it too.

  78. D.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 meant to say oh no ... not on no !!! lol

  79. D.... ....

    @astralagosto I sent her some of my video's in November ... she sent me a lovely letter back. I just sent her a few more for her birthday ... I really hope she enjoys them too and isn't thinking .. on no .. more of those darn video's ! hahaha !
    I think she still receives as much or more mail as she did while she was still making movies. I'm happy she's still so popular .. hope she knows it !

  80. a.... ....

    @Dayniac4324 I'm so happy that she knows about your videos and that she enjoys them. I'm glad Doris knows she has a lot of fans out there nowadays. I think she should be more well-known to counter the effects of hip hop, rap, and punk rock.

  81. D.... ....

    @astralagosto I think I was shocked because her letter was SO nice and she said such nice things about my video's ! But you are right - we shouldn't be surprised because she is a nice lady ! Thank you... I'm really happy you've enjoyed my video's. I just want to get her music out there to be enjoyed !!

  82. a.... ....

    Hi Dayniac,

    It is surprising when you get one from her. They are nice and from the heart. It's not surprising at all.

    You have great videos of Doris. They're great. Thank you for posting them.

    Have a great day!!!

  83. D.... ....

    @astralagosto It is shocking when you get one from her...they're so nice and really from the heart. But thats not really so surprising ... she's quite a lady !

  84. a.... ....

    Hi Dayniac,

    I would be in shock if Doris sent me a letter too. I remember I was in shock when she replied to my letter years ago. I hope she answers my letter when I send to her a couple of months from now. Hope you have a great week too.....

    Astral

  85. D.... ....

    Thank you ... I really hope she will answer your letter. I know she does answer quite a bit of mail. I was very surprised by the lovely letter she sent me ... just in shock actually ! Hope you have a great week ... Toni

  86. a.... ....

    Hi Dayniac,

    Yeah you can't believe everything you see in Doris forums hahahahaha. I just saw the pm letter you sent me about Doris' address. It's great she still answers letters. It's great you sent her some of the videos because I wanted Doris to see them since you do great videos of her. I'm glad Doris has seen them.

    Have a great day,

    Astral

  87. D.... ....

    You're right ... I definitely had the wrong info .. got it from a forum ... they misinformed me ..... looked it up and you're abosolutely right !! Thank you !!!
    I guess you can't believe everything you see on Doris forums ... hahaha !
    I will send you her address in a pm.. yes she does answer letters because I just received one from her. I sent her some of my video's and received a lovely note from her.
    Thank you again for the correct info !!!!

  88. a.... ....

    Hi Dayniac4324,

    Unfortunately Eleanor did not win that year. Anna Magnani did for The Rose Tattoo. I agree that Doris should have been nominated. You're right that we're losing all the stars from that time. I was just devastated when Jean Simmons died. I have not gotten over it.
    It's Doris still answers mail. Do you know her address to send her mail? I don't know if it's the same one that I sent her a letter years ago.

  89. D.... ....

    Eleanor did win an oscar for that in 1955. The same year Doris made Love Me or Leave Me and wasn't even nominated. From what I've read MGM pushed Eleanor for the win. Doris deserved to at least be nominated but both movies coming from MGM maybe thats the reason she didn't receive one.
    We're slowly losing all the stars from that time. I know Doris still answers mail ... I recently received a letter from her. Thanks ... happy you enjoyed !

  90. a.... ....

    Two great stars have come from Ohio:

    Doris Day and Eleanor Parker.

    Doris, of course, as one of the best singers and actresses ever.

    Eleanor as one of the best actresses ever in Hollywood. Sadly underrated. She should have won an Oscar for Interrupted Melody and been nominated for more. I once wrote to her but she did write back since she rarely replies to fans. Hope she's OK since I heard her health was not great last year.

  91. V.... B....

    Yes, I know that she started recording songs in 1939, but that was as a member of two or three different big bands and she was only known locally (not even regionally) I think that it's only in 1945 that she had at last a hit under her own name (changed name, that is). So it's not those five years as a member of one or several big bands that can add hundreds of recorded songs to her discography. Anyway, I am slowly bookmarking her songs and we'll keep in touch to exchange results and ideas. Bye!

  92. D.... ....

    No -- actually a friend - Peter - has a running list on a doris day forum ... its around 1000 songs ! She started recording in the late 30's ... so thats a good many years to add up. He's devoted his efforts to documenting his list.

  93. V.... B....

    Excellent job! But counting around 1100 songs recorded by Doris Day is highly improbable. Just looking at her discography and you can see that by the second half of the 60s she didn't pay many visits to the recording studios. My guess if that the first mentioning of 600 songs is more accurate.

  94. D.... ....

    Where abouts in Ohio ? We're in Missouri -- we had some very rainy gray days this last week ... must have moved your way ! This is a great one from Doris. Always wonder what she thought while singing this - since she's from Cincinnati.
    Hope your week is sunnier !!
    Thanks

  95. D.... ....

    Hi -- thanks for the info -- I see that . I wish I had a recording of her singing that song. Hope you're having a great week !!
