I know a place where the girls are divine,
Way down in old Maryland.
There's only one that I long to call mine,
Way down in old Maryland.
There's Floras and Doras and Coras and Jane,
There's Pollys and Dollys galore,
I searched all around, but in Maryland found,
Only one Mary I could adore.
There's only one Mary in Maryland, Maryland, Maryland,
There's only one Mary can understand
Why I long to hold her hand.
Minnesota has many a Minnie, you see,
Louis and a has many a Lou,
But there's only one Mary in Maryland,
And Mary, that Mary is you. [...]
