EILEEN AND RUTH

WHY, OH WHY, OH WHY, OH --
WHY DID I EVER LEAVE OHIO?
WHY DID I WANDER TO FIND WHAT LIES YONDER
WHEN LIFE WAS SO COZY AT HOME?

WONDÆRING WHILE I WANDER,
WHY DID I FLY?
WHY DID I ROAM?
OH, WHY OH, WHY OH
DID I LEAVE OHIO?
MAYBE IÆD BETTER GO 

EILEEN       RUTH
HOME.      O -- H -- I -- O.


EILEEN AND RUTH

MAYBE IÆD BETTER GO HOME.


RUTH

WITH MOM SAYING -- ôRUTH, WHAT NO DATE FOR THIS
EVENING?ö
