Lyrics:
First verse
In a quaint old fashioned garden, In a quaint old fashioned town, Mid roses pink and white and red There blooms the rose I mean to wed; Where the old Potomac's flowing, That is where I long to be, And tomorrow I am going, To the girl who waits for me.
Chorus
There's a girl in the heart of Maryland, With a heart that belongs to me, As I told her of my love, the oriole above, Sang from the old apple tree; Then Maryland was Fairyland, For she promised my bride she'd be, There's a girl in the heart of Maryland, With a heeart that belongs to me. There's a girl in the heart of Maryland, With a heart that belongs to me, As I told her of my love, the oriole above, Sang from the old apple tree; Then Maryland was Fairyland, For she promised my bride she'd be, There's a girl in the heart of Maryland, With a heeart that belongs to me.
Second verse
Set the village church bells ringing, Tell the organist to learn That melody by Mendelsohn, They play when they make two folks one; Cause tomorrow we'll be married, Oh! there's one thing I forgot, Have the parson ready waiting, At the church to tie the knot.
(Chorus)
