Over The Rhine Welcome Home
My roots grow by the river
They are deeper than the sea
My people and this city
They hold and anchor me
While we sing "Hello, Ohio"
Meet me there and you will see
When I call Cincinnati
"Welcome home," she answers me
All the highways I have travelled
Run together like a song
When I cross that bridge I see
Familiar faces sing along
And the arms of the Ohio
Hold me where I long to be
When I call Cincinnati
"Welcome home," she answers me
Welcome home
Welcome home
Oh, Cincinnati
Ohio
My roots grow by the river
They are deeper than the sea
My people and this city
They hold and anchor me
While we sing "Hello, Ohio"
Meet me there and you will see
When I call Cincinnati
"Welcome home," she answers me
Welcome home
Welcome home
Oh, Cincinnati
Ohio
