What is maine state song?

Maine's official state song is "State of Maine Song", also known as "Maine, Maine, Dirigo". It was written by Roger Vinton Snow in 1937 and adopted as the state song in 1939.

The song's title, "Dirigo," is the Maine state motto, which means "I direct" or "I lead." The lyrics celebrate Maine's natural beauty, strong character, and proud history. Some of the notable lyrics include:

"From her mountains and valleys so broad and so wide, Comes the strength and the courage of her sons and her pride."

"Through all her long history, we have proved faithful too, To Maine, our Maine, through storm and through blue."

The song is typically played at official state functions and is taught to Maine schoolchildren as part of their curriculum. Some critics have suggested that the song's lyrics are outdated and do not reflect the state's current diversity. Nonetheless, it remains a cherished symbol of Maine's heritage and identity.
