GREEN RIVER.
Now As in 81.


Have you ever heard it told
How in the year of 81
The sons of Windham county rallied
At the call of their country 5 drum
How they left their native hills,
Their dear ones and their all,
And offered their lives on the battle
field
At the sound of their country S call
And her sons are doing today
AS they did in 81.
They have volunteered their quota full
Did they draft them? No, not one,
We trust that God will bless thcii
works
It'll this cruel war is done,
And return them to dear old Windhan
And her Indian summer sun.
