[Verse 1]
Among the pines of dear Vermont you'll find a lonely grave,
A mound that's marked with marble white, he died a hero brave.
He went to war for those he loved

And as he marched away With heart so light
and armor bright they heard him proudly say:

[Chorus]
If I should fall on the battlefield
take me back to the scenes of my childhood
Lay me at rest 'neat the pines I love best,
that grow 'round my home in the wildwood

I love the flag with the stars and stripes,
and always will bear to the front
But if in the fight I should give up my life,
Let me sleep 'neath the pines of Vermont.

[Verse 2]
One day he came back home from war, with honor and with fame,
But with the glory that he'd won, with him a death wound came.

And as they brought him 'neath the pines he laid there all in pain
While stars shone bright he said goodnight and murmured once again:

[Repeat Chorus]
