Everybody knows that Mr.Kahn killed his wife
Nobody tried to ask him for the blooded knife
Mr.Kahn gave himself up and law found him guilty
It happened in Ohio, happened in Ohio, happened in Ohio
Newspapers wrote him up as a terrible murderer
T.V.casters decried it the tragedy of his wife
Masscommunication has no appreciation
It happened in Ohio, happened in Ohio
What is right？ What is wrong？ Can you understand it？
Prisoner dreaming past days in his prison so happy now
What is true？What is false？ Can you conclude it？
The wife of the prisoner keeps her beauty for eternity
Everybody knows so happy life that he spent
Once he got a girl the most beautiful in his state
Fortunate in Ohio, fortunate in Ohio
But the time is passing without any reserve
The beauty of his wife falling off with her years
It's the murder case in Ohio, murder case in Ohio,
What is right？ What is wrong？ Can you understand it？
Prisoner dreaming past days in his prison so happy now
