Lyrics:
First verse
Maryland, Maryland, you've made chicken famous ev'rywhere. Maryland, Maryland, I'm not kickin' but I must declare, You've got other chickens too, Baby Dolls with eyes of blue, They're the sweetest kind Here's what I've got in mind:
Chorus
There's a lot of blue-eyed Marys down in Maryland, I'll have you understand, there is no sweeter brand, If you want a blue eyed bride just take a ride to Maryland. They've got just what you need, yes, indeed, Ev'ryone comes guaranteed; If you want the best what am, in a wedding gown, Be some Mary's little lamb, follow her around; If you'll marry one you'll settle down in Fairyland, And raise a lot o' little Mary's down in Maryland.
Second verse
Maryland, Maryland, It's no wonder they've got such blue eyes, Maryland, Maryland, they're raised under Heaven's bluest skies, Sunbeams find a resting place, In each Mary's smiling face, Ev'ryone's a prize I'm here to put you wise:
(Chorus)
