Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- The B’s and P’s are coming in an eager active throng
From villages and cities you can hear our voices strong
The pines of Maine are mighty, but we’ll be mighty too
For union is our watch-word, and we’re watching out to do
Refrain
Dear Old Maine, city street or country lane
The B’s and P’s are coming from the valley hill and plain
In villages and cities, our mottoes just the same
It’s unity and comradeship, in Dear Old Maine
- For Main the Pine Tree State our enthusiasm’s great
It gave us birth and proved its worth with Dow and Reed and Blaine
But under skies more fair, it’s the women everywhere
Who work for all and do for al in Dear Old Maine
