Art did a pretty good job of a transcription. Can't tell if he did it from memory or what, but I was impressed. I have the advantage of the recent reissue of the 1964 album, The Womenfolk, Volume 2 Here's what I hear on the recording:


GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS
(Ernie Sheldon)

In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
Red Coats couldn't blind 'em forward or behind 'em,
'Cause their eyes were keen, sir -- and green their mountain land.

Chorus:
------------Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
------------And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys;
------------Oh the mountains ring and the valleys sing,
------------And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.

A farmer dropped his plow, took his rifle from the wall;
Another dropped his hammer when he heard the call.
Left their farms and wheat, sir -- to go plant freedom's seed, sir
To feed a hungry nation with freedom for all.
CHORUS

Every man was ready, sir -- hidden where no folk could see,
Behind the rocks and stones, in every bush and tree,
They waited for a sign, sir -- gave 'em such a time, sir,
Sent them on their way, sir -- back across the sea.
CHORUS

In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
The sky was red above, sir -- their hearts were filled with love, sir,
For their brothers everywhere and their mountain land.
CHORUS
