    Lyrics
    Those Brave Men From Vermont
    Words and Music by John Ellis

    Three regiments men from Vermont
    Were all lined up in rows
    And although they were dressed in blue
    They were all surely green

    Across the field men in gray
    Marched like on parade
    Flags flying all around
    All from this great big land

    And all these men were from the same country
    And yet they had become foes
    A divided land had forced their hand
    Now they were at war
    Away from home in a little town
    Known as Gettysburg
    Oh those brave men from Vermont
    Gave all they could that day
    Oh those brave men from Vermont
    Many had died that day


    Forward they came the men in gray
    Vermonters they stood their ground
    Orders came thirteenth right wheel march
    The sixteenth did the same

    The sixteenth did a full about
    Marched toward another wave
    They were joined by the fourteenth
    And put an end to the fight


    And all these men were from the same country
    And yet they had become foes
    A divided land had forced their hand
    Now they were at war
    Away from home in a little town
    Known as Gettysburg
    Oh those brave men from Vermont
    Gave all they could that day
    Oh those brave men from Vermont
    Many had died that day
