State Of Maine (song)
The "State of Maine" is the anthem of the U.S. state of Maine, adopted as the state song in 1937. It was written and composed by Roger Vinton Snow, who died in 1953.

CHORUS: Oh, Pine Tree State, Your woods, fields and hills, Your lakes, streams and rock bound coast Will ever fill our hearts with thrills, And tho' we seek far and wide Our search will be in vain, To find a fairer spot on earth Than Maine! Maine! Maine! References External links * |
