During Copyright examination of content possibly useful for the article, copyright status seemed to allow Wikipedia inclusion. Discussion can be read below. Note that this is not a final decision. The case could have been misinterpreted. Wikipedia:Copyright problems takes care of possible copyright violations.

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)Reply

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)Reply

The original lyrics seem fine per above. However, the modern/current lyrics (as stated in the article and supported by cites) appear to still be in copyright ("McBride rewrote the lyrics for the 1989 version"). I've removed them. DMacks (talk) 02:15, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

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 . Mugregg (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2017 (UTC)MugreggReply
