For those feeling the Bern…..

Bernie Sanders 1981 – Boston Globe
Our Own Vermont
Thank you Lord for you have graced us
Graced us from the start
We will always love Vermont
And keep it in our hearts
We don’t owe an allegiance
We won’t bow to a throne
We’re fiercely independent
This land it is our own
Calvin Coolidge, Ethan Allen, Bernie Sanders too
Were tempered by green mountains
And crystal waters blue
Our air for e’er is fresh and clean
We’ll have it stay that way
Our cheeks are tough yet warm to touch
Our children proudly pray
We don’t owe an allegiance
We won’t bow to a throne
We’re fiercely independent
This land it is our own
We won’t bow to New Hampshire
And neither to New York
We’ll never waiver in our fights
‘Gainst governmental pork
Our minds shall never favor bills
That will not keep us free
We will always love our land in blessed unity
We don’t owe an allegiance
We won’t bow to a throne
We’re fiercely independent
Vermont it is our own
– Ivan Smason
