Maryland, Maryland,
I love you best of all,
Maryland, Maryland,
I seem to hear you call.
My heart you've guided
and now I've decided
to hurry back to you.

Goodbye, I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo
bound for Maryland.
Gee! Won't that be grand
when I meet my Dad and Mammy;
Sister Sue, and Uncle Sammy.
I'll be happy
when I greet my Sweetie,
Can't you understand?
Birds will sing, merrily,
Wedding bells will ring
a sweet melody.
And that is why I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo,
Bound for Maryland.

Goodbye, I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo
bound for Maryland.
Gee! Won't that be grand
when I meet my Dad and Mammy;
Sister Sue, and Uncle Sammy.
I'll be happy
when I greet my Sweetie,
Can't you understand?
Birds will sing, merrily,
Wedding bells will ring
a sweet melody.
And that is why I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo,
Bound for Maryland.

Maryland, Maryland,
train whistle seems to say
Maryland, Maryland,
that's where I'm off today.
Darkies are singing
glad news they are bringing
to someone far away.

Goodbye, I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo
bound for Maryland.
Gee! Won't that be grand
when I meet my Dad and Mammy;
Sister Sue, and Uncle Sammy.
I'll be happy
when I greet my Sweetie,
Can't you understand?
Birds will sing, merrily,
Wedding bells will ring
a sweet melody.
And that is why I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo,
Bound for Maryland.

Goodbye, I'm leaving

bound for Maryland.
Gee! Won't that be grand

Wedding bells will ring
a sweet melody.
And that is why I'm leaving
on the Midnight ChooChoo,
Bound for Maryland.
