The "O Christmas Tree" tune is not the original tune for the Maryland state song. For a short time they had the same words, but a different tune. Sorry, I don't remember the tune. But a couple of years ago we went to a concert by the Gay Men's Chorus of Maryland, and they sang the state song to the original tune. It was odd to hear the familiar words to a different tune!
