From the High Green Mountains to the Lake Shore Waters
Chorus
This land is your land,
This land is our land,
From Derby Line there to Brattleboro
From the high green mountains to the lake shore waters
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking
The Molly Stark byway
I knew for certain we would have our say
Lift high our new flag that Green Mountain banner;
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land,
From the Barre quarries to Mount’n boys stories
From Mount Independence to the Bennington offense
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun comes shining, we get to thinking
Of the Morgan horses and the maple syrup
Home rule we’re craving, our flags are waving
This land was made for you and me.
We can roam and ramble for Green Mountain freedom
Let’s wave a new flag and beat a new drum
While all around us a voice is sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
By shadow of the red oak we see the real folk
In the downtown office, we see more kinfolk.
As we stand together, birds of a feather,
Is this land made for you and me?
It is our conclusion to stop intrusion
We have a real chance for independence
Shun the politico annex of the military complex
We’ll pay our tariff to a home-grown bailiff
This land was made for you and me.
No politician can ever stop us,
Shunning the D. C. beltway for the freedom highway
Take back our culture from the rapacious vulture
We want some surety from Homeland Security.
This land was made for you and me.
From Derby Line there to Brattleboro
From the high green mountains to the lake shore waters
This land was made for you and me.
