USA State Song: Maryland - 'Maryland, My Maryland'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2016
- Maryland, My Maryland" is the official state song of the U.S. state of Maryland. The song is set to the tune of "Lauriger Horatius" - better known as the tune of "O Tannenbaum". The lyrics are from a nine-stanza poem written by James Ryder Randall (1839-1908) in 1861. The state's general assembly adopted "Maryland, My Maryland" as the state song on April 29, 1939.
The song's words refer to Maryland's history and geography and specifically mentions several historical figures of importance to the state. The song calls for Maryland to fight the Union and was used across the South during the Civil War as a battle hymn. It has been called America's "most martial poem".
Due to its origin in support of the Confederacy, it includes lyrics that refer to President Abraham Lincoln as a "tyrant", "despot", and "Vandal", and to the Union as "Northern scum", as well as referring to the phrase "sic semper", which was the slogan later shouted by Marylander John Wilkes Booth while assassinating Lincoln. For these reasons occasional attempts have been made to replace it as Maryland's state song,but to date all such attempts have met with failure.

I was in Maryland and in other states last summer, and one of my best friends lives in Baltimore. As a not American, Maryland is the State I am most attached to. I almost cried by nostalgia seeing Annapolis here, Baltimore and Fort McHenry. I am from Europe. but still I have the 15 Stars Star- Spangled Banner in my room, the same that I fixed on Fort McHenry's flagpole with the help of a Park Ranger, and I wave the Maryland colors outside my window, even though people here don't know what it is, and I eat my meat and fish using good Old Bay Seasoning. Maryland, I really miss you!
My hometown Baltimore Maryland is beautiful Old Bay fantastic.....but have lived 30 years in Alaska. I visited Fells point and Harbor the Fort Mc Henry too just last October. It is a beautiful state
Is your friend Thomas Jason Jones....? He wants to be mayor of Baltimore in maybe next election
@@ginajones2328 oh no it's not him ahahah
Maryland is heart of USA
@Kirah Nicole oh sure I did! We saw all of the harbor but didn't get ice cream! We went to Vaccaro's and had some cannoli! I'll sure be back in Baltimore as soon as I can and I will try the ice cream!
You're not the first one to tell me that lol, I will remember it
I didn't know Maryland had it's own state christmas song.
This song is basically the same age, it’s not in anyway meant to be related to the Christmas song
legit a christmas song lol
Its called " Crabs for Christmas "
LOL, I bet you didn't know that our National Anthem (that was penned and inspired by The Battle of Baltimore here in Maryland, during The War of 1812) was put to music to the tune of an old British drinking song! "To Anacreon in Heaven". Seems to be a common practice back in the day!
Jesus Christ loves you so much. Repent your sins and turn your life to him. Have a great day. ✝️🕊❤️✝️
Native Marylander. I hate the fact that they may change the song this year.
I’m from Michigan, we use the same song, it’s not our official song but it’s supposedly is. I would hate to see it change, this version is amazing.
I was born and raised in the great state of Maryland. I love the flag different from any other state flag.
I have lived in many states because of my husbands job. He is from Fort Worth, Tx and that is where we now live.
Texas is okay but Maryland is my heart.
Wonderful
No matter where we live, at the heart our true home is Maryland
I was born in Maryland and I am obsessed with it
I want to come back
I wish this was longer. I ain't even a native of Maryland, but this version just gives a huge sense of pride.
Check out the other eight verses!
Born in Maryland but moved when I was a baby
If you heard the rest, you might wish you hadn’t. Unless you’re Confederate.

It's hard to trust this because it has the tune of oh Christmas tree
Eliza Siegel the melody for that song was extremely popular back then cause it was still fairly new.
movieguru289 I know that but modern day it's a little funny
Eliza Siegel this is indeed the state song of Maryland, and the Iowa state song is the same tune!
They copied.
Yes, Virginia (or rather, Maryland), this is the actual state song!
In the state of Maryland that's where our national anthem was written by Francis Scott key
Absolutely one of the best state songs!!!!
Iowa comes pretty close.
I think it's probably da best
Sadly no more the woke assholes in the statehouse revoked it
@@deadsweetheart1 Sad but true. I really really loved this song.
@@carlalorch8650 Iowa is just an attempt to imitate this song.
Maryland My Maryland was the best.
This will forever be Maryland's state song, no matter what the cowards in Annapolis say
This song is a pathetic excuse of a state song
Make this the state song again
Amen. If hogan ever runs for president against POTUS we should play this at his rallies as an F you
YES.
Damn man this gives me some serious chills, I’ll forever be a proud Marylander, no other state compares to this! ❤️🖤💛
I’d like to introduce you the state right to the left
Virginia is probably a little bit better.
What was your favorite part of the song? Was it the verse explicitly calling for joining the confederacy?
Austrian here and it gives me a weird amount of delight that this came from Oh Tannenbaum 😂
Fun thing is, its even known in the states... Its "Oh Xmas tree" over there...
Folks in the States descents also from european, who braught their homestead songs…. 👍🏾
It's even funnier if you take into account that Iowa also cribbed their state Anthem from O Tannenbaum too
Full Blooded Marylander Over Here!! *GO MARYLAND!!!*
MAY MY MOTHER STATE PREVAIL!!!!
Same bro
Well, from what I just learned it didn't it basically caved in to Washington's oversensitivity and have since changed the song apparently into something that Washington approves.
Amen
@@Fenris77 They switched it out over concerns that it was too pro-confederate in nature, which is a way of saying that the thing's racist, since the song's associated with the Confederacy, and the confederacy is associated with racism.
@@bearmarco1944 Probably and that only proves my point.
O Tannenbaum O Tannenbaum,
O something something something...
Jaso you can forget that being the anthem of Maryland. The writer was from the deep south and he had no love for those who were sorry for the Department of the Army turning Baltimore into a police state after a unit was attacked downtown travelling between two train stations that were not linked. A death during that incident is widely believed to be the first eastern death attributed to the civil war or its issues. (that is if you forget about a duel between a US Senator and a justice from the Supreme Court of California in southern San Francisco).
@@martintheiss743
No you can't. It may be important for you marylanders, but for the rest of the world it will always be O Tannenbaum. (Except Florida, Michigan and Iowa)

You also missed the fact that Maryland, My Maryland was sung to thee Cary Invincibles. It was sung to Constance Cary to take back her home in Alexanderia after giving her battle flag that she made to her favorite Confederate General.
Honestly, best state song.
So sad they got rid of it.
@@javiersblog2083 Sad? Bro,it's archaic af,why keep the song of the guys who lost the war?
Agreed.
@@RAD1111able It's not about any war, one verse of the song briefly mention it. What about yankee doodle, does that have to go? Our US anthem mentions the revo war?
What a fantastic state anthem! I love Maryland. As a non-American I almost cried tears of joy when I had the privilege of touching the glorious Marylandian soil for the first time. Maryland, My Maryland!
I was born and raised in Baltimore from 1949 on. We used to sing this song at grade school assemblies and I wish they could retain it somehow by altering the more offensive lines.
I loved the call out of familiar names such as Howard, Carroll, Potomac and Chesapeake.
Harford Garrett County... Anne Arundel ? Western Maryland near Frostburg beautiful mountains
They used to sing this at UMD at college park, but then they stopped because it is supposedly "racist".
"offensive"? Calling out the government for its past wrongdoings should not be offensive
I have a great version:
The greatest crabs are on thy shore,
Maryland, my Maryland!
The greatest beaches at thy door,
Maryland, my Maryland!
Make the great Old Bay spread some more, from Chesapeake to Baltimore,
And thus we say to you some more,
Maryland, my Maryland!
As a non-Marylander, who are Howard and Carroll?
Proud to be a Marylander!
Me too … 1707
Oh Christmas Tree, how lovely are thy branches
The state government officials who got rid of this song decided to cower in the dust.
Thank you for putting some FEELING into it!
This isnt crab rave...
As a Marylander this is so funny💀🤣
@@AdilFaizi-fc6it ok bro
I'm so sad they got rid of this song. Whenever I listen to it it richly reminds me of my best memories seeing and getting to know the state
Its still our anthem in spirit
You can thank BLM insanity
Idk why they didnt just change the lyrics to edit out the successionist stuff, the tune is great!
@@TaraZaraChara The tune is great. It's taken from another song entirely: O Tannenbaum - the only unique part of this song is the pro-confederacy lyrics. It's basically a racist song parody.
Um, probably because it was written by the confederates of Maryland who wanted to leave the union.
This is just beautiful.
Honestly it dosnt matter where you are from or if you were born in Maryland, Maryland is like miniture US and its a butiful state and im poud to be and live in it!!
I don’t care what the General Assembly or Larry Hogan say, *this* is the anthem of Maryland
Such a beautiful flag.
Tonight we fought as one, for the glory of Maryland!
I used to live in Maryland and it was home to me. Harford County holds a special place in my heart. Delaware is not home to me and doesn't have the same vibe.
Nice melody you got there 😉🇩🇪
This actually sounds like a national anthem, unlike most of the state songs which sound like school choir songs or Broadway plays.
Maryland has one of the best state songs, ever
RCClemans I'm disappointed in my state since it basically copied Christmas tree my Christmas tree.
RCClemans thanks from Maryland
hey Clemans the legislature just sacked the song as their official anthem. The guy was from the deep south and he was particularly angry at the piggish US Army response to a situation involving a mob jumping soldiers crossing downtown Baltimore on their way to DC. If you believe the "Tyrants" version of John Booth's jump from the balcony 5 days after the war, it may have been this that brought that to his attention.
And flags!
The Derptor This was made long before the Christmas song
I am proud to be living in Maryland even though I am an immigrant from Philippines
This is "Oh tannenbaum", a German Christmas carol (the melody was composed at the end of 1700 and the original german lyrics about in 1820) lol
Fun fact: This song was made during the civil war as a cry for slave owners is Maryland to rise up
Edit: I’m not trying to be biased I’m just saying where it came from. Calm down I’m sorry for offending anyone
MAkes it even more based!
А еще эта песня упоминается в романе «Унесенные ветром». Из романа собственно я и узнала о ней, что сделало прочтение еще более трагичным и болезненным
@@thesmithersy weird take
wow, so biased. Not every Marylander was a slave owner. Hell not everyone down south as a whole. Only the elite few in the south owned slaves(plantation owners and big business types). The vast majority of southerners were too poor to own any ,and get this..... there were numerous southerners that actually HATED slavery, but were outnumbered by those that supported it. This i DO know, because i did over 30 years of research, that involved reading thousands of letters and even diaries from that time period. Many a simple farmer that had even a single slave(if they were able) actually even freed them and made them paid workers before the war even ended or sent them north to have a chance at a life to live. I didn't even know about that until i found a few letters and documents that were recorded on issues like that. You can actually look this kind of info up at the D.C. archives and even the Smithsonian Institute has tons of original documents that people can actually research.
@@WWIIREBEL I never said it was all Marylanders I was just saying why the song was made. Please calm down
As of today, its officially repealed as Maryland's State Song.
why?
@@ariannakvb Larry Hogan signed some legislation today repealing it as the State Song
@@ariannakvb it’s confederate propaganda.
Because everybody wants you to think lincoln fought yo free black people when in reality he was a tyrant!and the song is about him arresting the legislators of Maryland before they could vote to secede.hence his heel is,meaning his control!lincoln the bigoted peace of garbage that would kill more of his own people to enslave an entire region for his need of their tax dollars!morrill tariff anyone?
There are tons of reason why i love history!
Who here because they’re repealing it
Yep
wonder what the new one would be ):
@@Rad509 hopefully it’s the same tune and includes the refrain “Maryland my Maryland”
@@PresidentialnurseFuturenurse Yeah
why is this so good
This should be played before all Oreals and Ravens games
I am a Filipino currently residing in Maryland
I can say this song is very catchy
Now that im a resident in this state
I am proud of living in this state
Ever notice that no two versions of this song seem to use the exact same verse combination?
the despots heels in every state
The despot's heel is on thy shore!
A lot of people from Maryland must have founded Iowa.
That means people from Maryland and Iowa founded O’ Christmas Tree O’ Christmas Tree.
@@Loaf_ve no, the former melody was made in Germany, as the song: "Oh Tannenbaum"
@@kentrosyt ohhhh. I was joking I think but idk
I learned something new today atleast
Iowa stole it and created a cheap impersonation of this great song. This song will ALWAYS belong to Maryland. No matter what those jerks In the statehouse say or did
我从经典《飘》里知道这首歌，特意来听听。😊👍
I listen to this song because they are trying to change it
it was written by a southerner after a situation where a mob attacked a US Army unit in downtown Baltimore. He considered a heavy handed response to be piggish on the part of the Department of the Army.
TV I understand your point of view however until recently no one noticed the author's real language at the time 1861. Basically he tried to turn himself into a Confederate sympathizer just as the war was about to start.
Killer 101 i think they have to because it may be a copyright from a Christmas song and it’s getting outdated. Also, It’s a confederate song.
@@_.twixxx O'Christmas Tree isn't copyrighted.
It finally happened

The music is from the German Christmas-Song "Oh Tannenbaum oh Tannenbaum

Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree
I lived in Maryland for 14 years and never knew it had its own song
R.I.P. :(
🎶🎶 Oh Tannenbaum - Oh Tannenbaum 🎶 🎶
Here is the real songs lyrics:
I
The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland![a]
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
II
Hark to an exiled son's appeal,
Maryland!
My mother State! to thee I kneel,
Maryland!
For life and death, for woe and weal,
Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel,
Maryland! My Maryland!
III
Thou wilt not cower in the dust,
Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust,
Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,-
And all thy slumberers with the just,
Maryland! My Maryland!
IV
Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array,
Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May,
Maryland! My Maryland!
V
Come! for thy shield is bright and strong,
Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong,
Maryland!
Come to thine own anointed throng,
Stalking with Liberty along,
And sing thy dauntless slogan song,
Maryland! My Maryland!
VI
Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland!
Virginia should not call in vain,
Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain-
Sic semper! 'tis the proud refrain
That baffles minions back amain,
Maryland! My Maryland!
VII
I see the blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland!
For thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek,
From hill to hill, from creek to creek-
Potomac calls to Chesapeake,
Maryland! My Maryland!
VIII
Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll,
Better the blade, the shot, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the soul,
Maryland! My Maryland!
IX
I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line's bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! she burns! she'll come! she'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!
Although the words as written, and as adopted by statute, contain only one instance of "Maryland" in the second and fourth line of each stanza, common practice is to sing "Maryland, my Maryland" each time to keep with the meter of the tune.
I believe this was sung by the boys in grey while the war went on
Maryland was a Union state in the Civil War, so yeah, probably not.
@Erik Aamold but the song was written about the Baltimore massacre when the union soldiers fired upon civilians in Maryland. And Maryland was heavily against the war but they were essentially occupied and forced to be a part of the union because Lincoln didn’t want the confederacy to surround DC
@@blackassasin175 Okay thanks for the correction
@@erikaamold8277 the state flag is a combination of union and confederate flags, showing they had made peace.
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum ...
Westland Blvd, the ❤ of The Old Line State!
The martyrs of the Pratt Street Riot shall not be forgotten! Pratt Street was pretty much the Boston Massacre of the South.
The Boston Finding Out and Pratt Street Turkey Shoot were both neither massacres, classic cases of fucking around and finding out, just like these BLM protesters who like Molotoff Cocktails, except the bottles they threw did not contain gasoline
Hilarious how I got introduced to this by someone who lives in upstate New York.

O Tannenbaum o Tannenbaum...
I’m about the most jingoistic Texan you’ll ever find, and I’ve never set foot in Maryland, but this song makes me want to belt out my adoration for Maryland, my Maryland.
Santa: you copied my song oh cristmas tree maryland . Maryland: what no !
My history professor in college was a Carroll. So cool to learn about Marylands unique history pre Georgian as a haven for catholics, Irish and all others out of step with the establishment
How long to we have before this too is torn down, thrown down the memory hole, and Banned by YT?
It’s always going to be on the internet, but it’s a great thing it’s no longer the official state song.
MARYLAND MY MARYLAND
oh yeah oh yeah
Long live Maryland! The person who saved the USA from turning to a strip war!
Livin' the life.
This is the song it should still be.
Oh, Whacking Day, Oh, Whacking Day.
When I heard this I thought," OH KRUSTY CRAAAAB OH KRUSTY CRAB, OH HOW I LOVE YOU KRUUUUSTY CRAAAAB!
The thing is, is that the way some felt about Lincoln was justified. He was a jerk to maryland.
The first time I heard this song, after moving to Bmore from Italy, I could not believe my ears... 🌲
So we have three songs with the same tune:
Oh christmas tree
The red flag (anthem of the british labour party)
anthem of mary land
And iowa my iowa

Sounds like the german song „oh Tannenbaum“
Guess the Confederacy was just really pressed for time and too busy fighting a war to come up with their own songs.
the only state song based on an anti-U.S. government troop movement.
Jeff Bloomfield , lets not forget, the Tyrant, Lincoln is the one who invaded the South. I love this song.

FT. SUMTER (Benner)
President Abraham Lincoln decided to send ships to resupply Fort Sumter after being repeatedly warned by South Carolina that such a gesture would be interpreted as an act of war. Confederate forces under the command of General PGT Beauregard then began a bombardment of the fort, quickly producing surrender. Although shots had been fired at the merchant ship “Star of the West” by cadets from The Citadel a few months prior, those fired at Sumter have long been considered the first in the war.
Before he took the presidency, Lincoln began polling his cabinet regarding what to do about Fort Sumter. Though Lincoln believed that abandoning or selling the fort would encourage the southern states and act as an implicit recognition of the Confederate States of America, he was the outlier. At the time, Secretary of State William Seward began negotiations with Confederate negotiators via clandestine channels, hoping to prevent war. Before April, only Montgomery Blair, Lincoln’s postmaster general, believed that resupplying the fort was a wise course of action. The Confederate government had offered to purchase the federal forts peaceably, and wished to begin diplomatic discourse with the United States. According to many accounts, war could have been averted and immeasurable blood and treasure could have been saved by evacuating or selling the fort.
Prior to the event, war was hardly foregone conclusion. Winfield Scott, the top ranking official in the army, had urged Lincoln to let the union’s “wayward sisters” depart in peace. Lincoln’s predecessor, President James Buchanan, similarly alleged that secession was impermissible, but denied any constitutional authority to prevent it from transpiring. During this timeframe, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment - the Corwin Amendment - with the explicit support of Lincoln, that would have codified the permanence of slavery into the United States Constitution and prevented Congress from disposing of the institution forever. Various other attempts to bring the southern states back into the union, including the Crittenden Compromise, were pursued.
Secretary of State William Seward attempted to engage in clandestine negotiation to sell the fort despite Lincoln’s position. Realizing that resupplying the fort would be an inflammatory deed, he thought Lincoln’s adamant grip on Sumter was unwise. Much hardship would be avoided, Seward thought, if the fort could be transferred to the state peacefully. He gave assurances to Confederate diplomats throughout March that the fort would be abandoned, much like other federal forts that existed within the Confederate states. These pledges, of course, never came to fruition.
In the end, Lincoln directed the supply ships to the fort, and sent warning to South Carolina’s governor, Francis Pickens. The governor responded with an explicit ultimatum that any attempt to resupply the fort was a violation of the law of nations, and would be treated as an act of war. Positioned in the middle of Charleston Harbor, the government would not allow such a trespass on its own dominion. Following through with this warning, the fort was fired upon from various artillery batteries surrounding the harbor. Shots lasting 34 hours forced the occupants to surrender Fort Sumter to South Carolina, though there were zero casualties.
In a May 1 letter to a friend, Lincoln admitted that Fort Sumter served as a vehicle to start a war with the southern states: “You and I both anticipated that the cause of the country would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Fort Sumter, even if it should fail.” Two months later, Lincoln reiterated his satisfaction to another friend, which was captured in his journal: “The plan succeeded. They attacked Sumter - it fell, and thus, did more service than it otherwise could.”
Among southerners and northern opponents of the president, Lincoln’s decision was widely interpreted as a hostile action against a sovereign state and as a violation of the law of nations. On the other hand, the event also triggered a coalition of support for the president - including the president’s former political opponent Stephen Douglas - who portrayed southerners as the true aggressors in the episode. Either way, Lincoln’s self-admitted attempt to provoke war served as the catalyst for the bloodiest conflict in North American history.
In the aftermath of the event, Lincoln unilaterally called for a 75,000-man army to be raised, with the sole purpose of invading the South, while Congress was not in session. Perceived as a provocative and unprecedented gesture of aggression, four additional states - Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina - seceded from the union. Prior to the call to raise an army, these states had decided to remain within the union because they did not think Lincoln would endeavor to do what the Deep South states had warned. Tennessee, for its part, even rejected secession over allegations that the Lincoln administration would interfere with slavery via a statewide referendum in February of the same year. Similarly, Virginia called for an initial convention that culminated with a refusal to secede over the issue of slavery.
Arkansas’ declaration of secession conveyed that its departure hinged upon Lincoln’s declaration that “war should be waged against such States until they should be compelled to submit to their rule,” an action of “inhuman design” deemed “disgraceful and ruinous to the State of Arkansas.” According to Governor of Tennessee Isham Harris, the general government had embodied, “in all the elements of power, of a purely sectional party, whose bond of union is uncompromising hostility to the rights and institutions of the fifteen Southern States, have produced a crisis in the affairs of the country, unparalleled in the history of the past.”

@@MyName-lq7rv ok so you should of supported Great Britain during the American Revolution
It's a shame that it's civil war secessionist, because I actually really like it. It doesn't even feel too much like the christmas song despite using its tune. Lots of pride in this rendition, that's something most states completely flop at..
Sort of like oh Iowa, but more holiday.
actually its now seen as a response to the army taking Baltimore over when it was proven their soldiers were unsafe travelling in the city. a death during the initial raid is seen as the first eastern and 1861 death tied to the war preface story.
