These Green Mountains

"These Green Mountains" is the official state song of Vermont.[1] The song, composed by Diane Martin and arranged by Rita Buglass Gluck was made official on May 22, 2000, when then governor Howard Dean signed Act 99. The previous official state song of Vermont was "Hail to Vermont!".

Lyrics

These green hills and silver waters
are my home. They belong to me.
And to all of her sons and daughters
May they be strong and forever free.
Let us live to protect her beauty
And look with pride on the golden dome.
They say home is where the heart is
These green mountains are my home.
These green mountains are my home.
