From the recording State By State "Tribute 3"
Lyrics
From the mountains to the bay so wide
Where the Chesapeake meets the ocean tide
Red and gold and black and white
The banner waves in morning light
Maryland, where the blue crabs crawl
From Cumberland to Ocean City's boardwalk call
Through Annapolis and Baltimore's streets
Old Line State, where history and water meet
Fort McHenry stands by the harbor strong
Where rockets glared and bombs rang long
The Orioles play, the Ravens soar
On Pratt Street down to Camden's shore
Maryland, Maryland, where the blue crabs crawl
From Cumberland to Ocean City's boardwalk call
Through Annapolis and Baltimore's streets
Old Line State, where history and water meet
Mason-Dixon line runs through your land
Crab cakes steaming, Old Bay in hand
From the naval yards to college towns
Seven states surround, but you stand proud
Maryland, Maryland, my Maryland home
Where the Potomac and Patapsco roam
Through every season, rain or shine
Forever proud of the Old Line
This song celebrates Maryland's geography, history, culture, and landmarks in an original composition!
