Amazing! As an European i never heard of the Green Mountain Boys or Republic of Vermont before today, Really fascinating stuff!

So it makes me kinda sad to see the division that your great nation it's currently facing. Cheers and wishes from Italy!

Definitely the best rendition of this song I've heard. It has a warlike, militant air to the music and the tone. Other performances here on youtube seem to be going with a lighter tone. I feel like this is how it was meant to be heard. Is there a clearer version?
I REMEMBER WHEN I TOOK A TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITAL AND I RECALL SEEING ETHAN ALLEN’S STATUE DONATED BY THE STATE OF VERMONT AND HEARING THIS SONG MAKES THAT MOMENT STAND OUT IN MY HEART
Love this song. It's called "The Green Mountaineer" though, you can hear its title in the chorus. There is a Revolutionary War song called The Green Mountain Boys, but its different. Just hope no one gets confused. I've never been to Vermont, but I know every American can listen to this song and substitute the name for their own state. That's what makes it so powerful and true.
"We owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne, Our ruler is law and the law is our own;" Probably the most moving thing I've ever heard in a song. I'm a Conservative and a patriot and above all: a Christian who is unbelievably blessed to live in such an amazing country.
Interesting song of the Revolutionary period. Since my relative served under Col. Ira Allen brother of Gen. Ethan Allen. He was a real Vermont's Green Mountain Boy.
I grew up as a little kid listening to these songs - Revolutionary War, Civil War, and various historic eras. Parents got me a Nat Geo record collection. Yes, record, and it's been around 35+ years since I heard this in its entirety, though I did recall most of the lyrics. :) I want to thank you for putting it here. I am going to listen to it again before searching out the Ballad of Donald Monroe...
"General Ethan Allen of Vermont died and went to Hell this day." - Rev. Ezra Stiles, president of Yale College, diary entry 12 February 1789 "Passed by Ethan Allyn's grave. An awful Infidel, one of ye wickedest men ye ever walked this guilty globe. I stopped & looked at his grave with a pious horror." - Rev. Nathan Perkins in "Narrative of a Tour Through the State of Vermont," 25 May 1789 These comments amount to tributes, to a true revolutionary.
I'm a Vermonter, and I've never heard this before! What a great state this is. Or was, rather. I note that they seem to group New Hampshire and New York in among the enemies; not surprising, considering Vermont was born of land contested between the two, until the inhabitants told them what they could go and do with each other. The only state in the US beside Texas that was its own Republic before joining the US...over a decade. Sometimes I wish we'd stayed our own nation. But the US would have sore missed our boys during the Civil War!
I think they would have been missed more during the Revolutionary War. I'm so thrilled that such a big chunk of my taxes goes toward educating today's youth! Instead of using $$ to teach History they use it to teach about what a horrible 'world citizen' the US is.
Let grey wolf and fox howl on in the shadow of primitive rocks, let bear feed securely from pig pen and stall, theirs two legged games for your powder and ball
The Vermont Republic is a term used by historians to refer to the government of Vermont that existed from 1777 to 1791. In January 1777, delegates from 28 towns met and declared independence from the jurisdictions and land claims both of the British colony of Quebec and of the American states of New Hampshire and New York. They also abolished adult slavery within their boundaries. Many people in Vermont took part in the American Revolution, although the Continental Congress did not recognize the jurisdiction as independent. Because of vehement objections from New York, which had conflicting property claims, the Continental Congress declined to recognize Vermont, then known as the New Hampshire Grants. Vermont's overtures to join the British Province of Quebec failed. In 1791, Vermont officially joined the United States as the 14th state.
Bless Vermont we will fight for our own no matter what, learned from our four fathers we carry more pride and love for our land than any other. We know what right by looking out our window at the beauty, we no what needs are protection. The right to produce, to farm and to enjoy the one life were given with car. STAND WITH ME VT
@@pierceriddick7311 you mean that if you bought property with someone else's money, it belongs to that person until you pay them back. it makes sense, technically when you take out a loan for a home, the bank is paying for that home and you are allowed to live there while paying for it. it's like a rent to own sort of deal just with a different name. you can't really say that you bought something yourself if the money was someone else's and you can't really claim that something is yours while you've yet to pay for it in full.
I was born and raised in the Green Mountains. It makes me sick to my guts to see what has happened to the rugged hardcore Green Mountain State. Infiltrated by a bunch of tree hugging liberal pansies that want to freeload off society, drive out independence, freedom, liberty and force Socialism down the throats of everyone that try to oppose them. What few of us native born conservatives that are left have always fought the good fight, but our numbers are dwindling, we are left deserted by our fellow conservatives who have all died or moved to other states. Vermont is fast becoming a lost cause. Unless we get many conservative reinforcements soon, I fear Vermont will become another casualty of the Socialism war.
This song "The Green Mountaineer" contains messages that could just as easily apply to a Socialist ethic. "Our leaders themselves are our own fellow men; who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen!" - The linking of Sword(military) with Scythe(agriculture) and Pen(intellectual) is a profoundly left-wing sentiment! Class divisions make for unhealthy and unequal societies. I live in a country still ruled by the British Monarch. Unelected. Unwanted. Unnecessary! Hail Hail an Independent Scottish Socialist Republic!
"Here's two-legged game for your powder and ball" "The tribute we pay shall be prisons and graves" Two of the best lines I've ever heard in any song. And this from a state that routinely elects a Stalinist...um..."democratic socialist" to the Senate. Vermont has gone downhill in the past 240-odd years. Beautiful state, but something is rotten there.
The brave souls who created America and won our liberty and independence deserve to be remembered in gratitude for what they passed on to us. This song should give us a glimpse of who these were...regular people who loved freedom . Now it is up to us.
Robert Allen was a several times great grandfather of mine. Before I knew about his role in the revolution or my relation to him, I already was wearing a red wool hunting cap regularly and keep a green felt forest cloak around. Also I'm definitely of the liberty persuasion. This is a great song.
We have become lovers of contentment and contentment slays ambition. The dumbing down is America is by old design. The supreme law says this country is ours, but only few will stand because of fear. Fear of losing that which makes them content. There are more of us than many believe it is that we are silent and thus others likeminded believe they are alone, not knowing there brethren are but a shout away. We are the the greatest people on earth. We were born of war, we learned who we were in war. We showed the world who we are in war... We are American... We the people. Lets us rise and take her back.

Here is a clearer recording, th-cam.com/video/PIZYW5TOI6U/w-d-xo.html
The green mountain Boys is my home town militia of Vermont
I'm getting our fine state tattooed on me with Green Mountaineer on it. Stoked.
Much love too Vermont from Texas
Hard to believe Vermont was once Badass, shameful what its become...
How is it not still badass? Lowest violent crime rate in the country with the most gun rights.
brilliant both in form and lyrics.
Now more than ever!!!
A moment of silence for the 40 traitors who down voted this awesome song!
Idk why, but for some reason I really love the story of the green mountain boys and taking of fort ticonderoga and the invasion of Quebec
Bless Vermont we will fight for our own no matter what, learned from our four fathers we carry more pride and love for our land than any other. We know what right by looking out our window at the beauty, we no what needs are protection. The right to produce, to farm and to enjoy the one life were given with car.
STAND WITH ME VT
Happy 4th of July. Remember our heritage. Hail Victory.
My heart felt deeoest thanks to you,Sir !!!
I shall read The Lost Ways for it is essential!!!
Love the song thanks for sharing
this would spur me to fight and protect my land
Well technically speaking the big boys at the bank own that land you call yours but I can see where your going.
@@pierceriddick7311 you mean that if you bought property with someone else's money, it belongs to that person until you pay them back. it makes sense, technically when you take out a loan for a home, the bank is paying for that home and you are allowed to live there while paying for it. it's like a rent to own sort of deal just with a different name. you can't really say that you bought something yourself if the money was someone else's and you can't really claim that something is yours while you've yet to pay for it in full.
Washinton and Hamilton and Jefferson come! This world has need of you!
Hot damn it's the National Geographic recording! Nice!
my most fav is (the tribute we give is prisons and graves
Thank you, loved it...
Long live Vermont! may it be a conservative state once again!
Why do you have a terrorist flag as your profile picture?
green bastard its not a terrorist flag its the Bonnie Blue Flag from the civil war
RAMZI HAMDIYAH I like it
It never was. Vermont tried to secede in the 1790s because they found the Constitution too regressive. Always a good old egalitarian state.
Not if we cant oust these pansies in burlington
Also called the Song of the Vermonters
Here's to an America with actual freedom, not what we have now.
I was born and raised in the Green Mountains. It makes me sick to my guts to see what has happened to the rugged hardcore Green Mountain State. Infiltrated by a bunch of tree hugging liberal pansies that want to freeload off society, drive out independence, freedom, liberty and force Socialism down the throats of everyone that try to oppose them. What few of us native born conservatives that are left have always fought the good fight, but our numbers are dwindling, we are left deserted by our fellow conservatives who have all died or moved to other states. Vermont is fast becoming a lost cause. Unless we get many conservative reinforcements soon, I fear Vermont will become another casualty of the Socialism war.
Couldnt agree more!
Where is Socialism in America? I learned the socialist\communist ideology so many times, and still i cant see any trace of it in the USA
Melkor788 pick up a newspaper, its everywhere.
This song "The Green Mountaineer" contains messages that could just as easily apply to a Socialist ethic. "Our leaders themselves are our own fellow men; who can handle the sword and the scythe and the pen!" - The linking of Sword(military) with Scythe(agriculture) and Pen(intellectual) is a profoundly left-wing sentiment! Class divisions make for unhealthy and unequal societies.
I live in a country still ruled by the British Monarch.
Unelected.
Unwanted.
Unnecessary!
Hail Hail an Independent Scottish Socialist Republic!
NuQuonDam Grasping a bit now, aren't you?
You, unarmed subject.
Me, armed citizen.
"Here's two-legged game for your powder and ball"
"The tribute we pay shall be prisons and graves"
Two of the best lines I've ever heard in any song. And this from a state that routinely elects a Stalinist...um..."democratic socialist" to the Senate. Vermont has gone downhill in the past 240-odd years. Beautiful state, but something is rotten there.
what a badass song
Very beautiful and inspiring.
Happy Veterans Day
thanks all vets
The brave souls who created America and won our liberty and independence deserve to be remembered in gratitude for what they passed on to us. This song should give us a glimpse of who these were...regular people who loved freedom . Now it is up to us.
The chad green mountaineer Vs the virgin redcoat
As a Vermonter, I've always been interested in these guys. Funny-looking flag, too
This reminds me of the recording on the LP released by National Geographic(?) Back in the 70s. I used to check their albums out of the local library.
Robert Allen was a several times great grandfather of mine. Before I knew about his role in the revolution or my relation to him, I already was wearing a red wool hunting cap regularly and keep a green felt forest cloak around. Also I'm definitely of the liberty persuasion. This is a great song.
Lest we forget
Any of my boys still active?
HOLD THE LINE.
Arise Sons of Liberty
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
"Our ruler is law, and the law is our own."
Never before have I seen liberal democracy so perfectly and succinctly summarized.
Bro what? Liberals literally don't follow any law that stands in the way of what they want. Each side is bad but lately the left is out of control.
The is the catchiest song that makes me want to throw tea in a harbor
Vermont stood up for her liberty a few days ago.
For America
I really really like this song

Semper Fi
"They only wanted swamp land" said a red skill.
We have become lovers of contentment and contentment slays ambition. The dumbing down is America is by old design. The supreme law says this country is ours, but only few will stand because of fear. Fear of losing that which makes them content. There are more of us than many believe it is that we are silent and thus others likeminded believe they are alone, not knowing there brethren are but a shout away. We are the the greatest people on earth. We were born of war, we learned who we were in war. We showed the world who we are in war... We are American... We the people. Lets us rise and take her back.
Celebrating the freedom and democracy and proud to do so.
Be thankful that you can actually say that without the secret police knocking on your door.
be careful what you say online, they are always watching.
