Tune of the Day: Ballad of the Green Mountain Boys

American Revolutionary War song

The “Ballad of the Green Mountain Boys”, also known as “The Green Mountaineer”, is a folk ballad in honor of the Green Mountain Boys, Vermont's homegrown revolutionary army during the American War of Independence. The origins of the tune are unknown, but the lyrics come from “The Song of the Vermonters, 1779”, a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier that was first published in 1838.

Thanks to Ralph for suggesting this tune!
