The first verse of "The John R. Braden March Song," one of multiple songs dedicated to the illustrious Maine pacer John R. Braden:
There’s a song of triumph rising clear with a chorus full and strong,
You can hear it ring to the very skies with an echo loud and long,
There’s a mighty band from "Aroostook land" with heart and hand so true
They are with you to stay and they’re backing you today--
John R. Braden! Aroostook is with you!
