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.
Oh, Pine Tree State Your woods, fields, and hills, Your lakes, streams, and rockbound 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!
Written and composed by Roger Vinton Snow
