Lyrics
- Hail to Vermont!
- Lovely Vermont!
- Hail to Vermont so fearless!
- Sing we a song!
- Sing loud and long!
- To our little state so peerless!
- Green are her hills, Clear are her rills,
- Fair are her lakes and rivers and valleys;
- Blue are her skies, Peaceful she lies,
- But when roused to a call she speedily rallies.
- Hail to Vermont! Dear old Vermont!
- Our love for you is great.
- We cherish your name,
- We laud! We acclaim!
- Our own Green Mountain State.
- Proud of Vermont, Lovely Vermont,
- Proud of her charm and her beauty;
- Proud of her name, Proud of her fame,
- We're proud of her sense of duty;
- Proud of her past, Proud first and last,
- Proud of her lands and proud of her waters;
- Her men are true. Her women, too.
- We're proud of her sons and proud of her daughters.
- Hail to Vermont! Dear old Vermont!
- Our love for you is great.
- We cherish your name,
- We laud! We acclaim!
- Our own Green Mountain State.
