I'm unsure if the lyrics to the song are in the public domain or not. --Cherry blossom tree 23:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- The copyright for the lyrics expired in 2005 (year of death, 1935, + 70 years). According to #Copyright-expired works and #National anthems in WP:L&P, you may quote the lyrics in full. └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 16:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
The modern lyrics are a part of the public Ohio Revised Code, and therefore have no copyright designation, and are freely available online, even on web sites about Ohio history [1]. Mugregg (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Mugregg
