Maryland, My Maryland

Maryland, My Maryland

 

The despot's heel is on thy shore

Maryland, my Maryland

His torches at thy temple door

Maryland, my Maryland

Avenge the patriotic gore

That flecked the streets of Baltimore

And be the battle queen of yore

Maryland, my Maryland

Thou wilt not cower in the dust

Maryland, my Maryland

Thy beaming sword shall never rust

Maryland, my Maryland

Remember Carroll's sacred trust

Remember Howard's warlike thrust

And though thy slumberers with the just

Maryland, my Maryland
