Mom And Dad lived on the Old Ohio Canal that runs through Millersport , Ohio. Dad Loved to fish and boat on Buckeye Lake early in the mornings. Sometimes, Mom would go with Him, sometimes the Grandkids, and He also Loved going by Himself!! Sometimes, Dad would even take Us!!! We all Loved to Fish and Still Do!! |

"Fishing Joy" An early morning fishing trip, Upon the lake so still. To see the fish splash round about, To hear the lake birds trill. To see the yellow sun come up, In the golden, eastern sky. To feel fresh breezes on your cheek, As you go sailing by. Then you know that peace is here, It's up to man to find, And he could find it fishing, With cares all left behind. E.H. Coe 1972 |
"Morning On The Lake" Early morning on a cool, blue lake With the sun's rays on the water. Cool morning breezes on your face, As you give the boat the rudder. Boat's racing down the lake, Throwing sprays of silver'y dew. Making waves, that tug and toss, Your boat as they pass you. Racing down the golden path, The sun lays on the lake. Racing onward toward the sun, What glorious thrills it makes. A day of boating, is well spent, Enjoying nature's gift. It raises spirits, O' so high, And gives your soul a lift. E.H. Coe 1972 |
Lyrics To "Beautiful Ohio"!!! I sailed away; Wandered afar; Crossed the mighty restless sea; Looked for where I ought to be. Cities so grand, mountains above, Led to this land I love. Chorus Beautiful Ohio, where the golden grain Dwarf the lovely flowers in the summer rain. Cities rising high, silhouette the sky. Freedom is supreme in this majestic land; Mighty factories seem to hum in tune, so grand. Beautiful Ohio, thy wonders are in view, Land where my dreams all come true! Original Chorus as written by Ballard MacDonald Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream While above the Heavens in their glory gleam And the stars on high Twinkle in the sky Seeming in a paradise of love divine Dreaming of a pair of eyes that looked in mine Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see Visions of what used to be. Written by Ballard MacDonald special lyrics by Wilbert B. McBride Composed by Mary Earl |
