From Easton to West
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Maryland is really nice
If you don’t look past the sugar and spice
If you look across the Chesapeake Bay
You’ll find its leaders are really gay
They fly around on silver wings
And say the most incredible things
But Chesapeake into the depths perhaps
And there you’ll find some huge mishaps
They’ve blown up bridges and tunnels and tracks
They’ve told bold lies that they won’t take back
And although they know that God can see
They forgot about Jesus when they forgot about me
