What? Maryland was singing about scum all this time and we didn’t even notice?
Shows how much attention was being paid to things ceremonial.
Besides it looks like most of Maryland has been bent on turning into what it once hated anyhow.
I lived for several weeks in a relatively redneck area of Maryland (Hagerstown, that the liberals there call Haterstown). It wasn’t bad. Biggest Walmart in the east, too, with tractor pulls. I worked in rich Germantown, about an hour away, but could only afford to live in Hagerstown. Eventually moved to Nashville and then points further west.
Another tune that would get you banned from most campuses today (even in Dixie, sadly).
Nobody even sings that stanza.
So stupid to mess with history.
