Finally...Carmen Ohio with lyrics Enjoy... “Oh come, lets sing Ohios praise, And songs to Alma Mater raise, While our hearts, rebounding, thrill With joy which death alone can still. Summers heat or winters cold, The seasons pass the years will roll. Time and change will surely (truly) show How firm thy friendship ... OHIO!” Carmen Ohio (Latin: Song of Ohio) is the oldest school song still used by The Ohio State University. The song was composed by freshman athlete and OSU Glee Club member Fred Cornell in 1902 or 1903. According to some accounts, he composed it on the train ride home from Ann Arbor, Michigan after Ohio State suffered an 86-0 loss to the Michigan Wolverines.[1] Set to the tune Spanish Hymn, or Spanish Chant, the Mens Glee Club first performed the song in 1903; however, it did not gain popularity until after its October 10, 1906 publication in The Lantern. At the following Ohio State-Michigan football game on October 20, 1906, Carmen Ohio was published in the program. In 1915, Cornell recalled that he wrote the song in 1903 at the request of the Mens Glee Club, and other family members later stated that the train story might be an exaggeration or outright fabrication youtu.be/Ns9Z15WDUYY
