  • Oh, fill the steins to dear old Maine
    Shout till the rafters ring
    Stand and drink a toast once again
    Let every loyal Maine man sing
    Then drink to all the happy hours
    Drink to the careless days
    Drink to Maine, our alma mater
    The college of our hearts always

    To the trees, to the sky, to the Spring and its glorious happiness
    To the youth, to the fire, to the light that is moving and calling us
    To the gods, to the fate, to the rulers of men and their destinies
    To the lips, to the eyes, to the girls who will love us someday

    Oh, fill the steins to dear old Maine
    Shout till the rafters ring
    Stand and drink a toast once again
    Let every loyal Maine man sing
    Then drink to all the happy hours
    Drink to the careless days
    Drink to Maine, our alma mater
    The college of our hearts always

    To the trees, to the sky, to the Spring and its glorious happiness
    To the youth, to the fire, to the light that is moving and calling us
    To the gods, to the fate, to the rulers of men and their destinies
    To the lips, to the eyes, to the girls who will love us someday

    Oh, fill the steins to dear old Maine
    Shout till the rafters ring
    Stand and drink a toast once again
    Let every loyal Maine man sing
    Then drink to all the happy hours
    Drink to the careless days
    Drink to Maine, our alma mater
    The college of our hearts always Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Surfer Joe from MeI stopped at Lincoln Colcord’s grave the other day and belted out the Maine Stein Song. It felt great!
  • Barbara from Modesto, CaI have a sheet music copy of the Stein Song 1930. E. A Fentad is mispelled as Fenstad. The cover is like the one on You Tube with a difference at the bottom part that includes the instruments.
    I have had a lot of sheet music stored since 1971 when my grandmother died I dig it out of her basement. I am just now sorting it and will be selling all of it as my children are not interested in keeping it. All of the music is from 1850 to 1950's with Pat Boone 1957 likely being the only one after 1950.
