Welcome Home - Over the Rhine

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
