Maryland, My Maryland
(To the tune: "O Tannenbaum" )
By Sean Tully
From rounded mountains highest crest,
Maryland, my Maryland.
To ocean beaches, we are blessed,
Maryland, my Maryland.
From city street to fertile farm,
The Chesapeake's abundant charm,
We pledge to shield you from all harm,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Where grand white oaks grow gracefully,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Where blue crabs swim so beautifully,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Where thoroughbreds graze rolling hills,
Where Black-Eyed Susan simply thrills,
Your nature awes, your bounty spills,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Through every season you enthrall,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Your loveliness inspires all,
Maryland, my Maryland.
You are the place our hearts will stay,
You're where we live, learn, work, and play,
And may it always be that way,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Our many paths have led us here,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Our valiant past we treasure dear,
Maryland, my Maryland.
You are the home to truly brave,
When country called your children gave,
Forever may your bold flag wave,
Maryland, my Maryland.
With faith and freedom tightly bound,
Maryland, my Maryland.
We've built today on solid ground,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Where equal rights are fair and just,
And tyranny lies in the dust,
Our liberties, our sacred trust,
Maryland, my Maryland.
With gentle words strong deeds are done,
Maryland, my Maryland.
The Old Line holds and stands as one,
Maryland, my Maryland.
Into the future we will stride
With rich traditions as our guide,
O!, know this Free State is our pride,
Maryland, my Maryland.
