In Maryland, m[y Maryla]nd
True soldiers will the fair protect,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Then treat them kindly with respect,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
By soldiers was our country won,
A soldier was our Washington;
Whose flag now waves o'er everyone,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Why should woman toss her head,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
And wish Abe Lincoln hung quite dead!
In Maryland, my Maryland!
That Beauregard at once would come,
Make Baltimore his future home,
Drive Union men abroad to roam,
From Maryland, My Maryland!
Now ladies these things cannot be,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Jeff's head alive you ne'er will see,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Bradford's our ruler good and true,
The Stars and Stripes he'll keep in view
And Maryland in the Union too,
My Maryland, my Maryland!
Our father's flag, it waves once more,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Secession's dead in Baltimore,
Through Maryland, my Maryland!
Let ladies fair, nice young men too,
Each their walk in life pursue,
Our Union love, join no secesh crew
In Maryland, my Maryland!
The rebel F. F. V's may rave,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
Their secesh rag can never wave,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
The bone and sinew of our land,
Their interest and safety understand;
Severed they fall, united stand,
In Maryland, my Maryland!
