Lyrics
Chorus
I’ve made my mind up, that I’m gonna wind up, down in Maryland
I’m gonna wind my way, down old Chesapeake Bay
I’ll ramble over, the sweet scented clover, down in Maryland
What a fool I was to wander, from the folks down yonder
I’m sighing, I’m crying, for a glimpse of home, sweet home
I love it, all of it, from the cellar to the dome
Somebody’s kisses will make me say this, just like fairyland
I’ve made my mind up, that I’m gonna wind up in Maryland
Patter
M for the Morning glories on the vine
A for the Apple trees I used to climb
R for the Roses rambling ’round the door
Y for the Yearning to be there once more
L for the Loving that awaits me there
A for the Angel in the rocking chair
N for the Night-in-gale that sings till morn
D stands for Dixieland where I was born
Oh! Maryland! my Maryland! I’ll soon be coming your way, Say
