Lyrics
Grand State of Maine,

proudly we sing

To tell your glories to the land,

To shout your praises till the echoes ring.

Should fate unkind

send us to roam,

The scent of the fragrant pines,

the tang of the salty sea

Will call us home.

CHORUS:

Oh, Pine Tree State,

Your woods, fields and hills,

Your lakes, streams and rock bound coast

Will ever fill our hearts with thrills,

And tho' we seek far and wide

Our search will be in vain,

To find a fairer spot on earth

Than Maine! Maine! Maine!
