Lyrics
no more the beach or dune erodes
Like nothing we d ever seen, it s quite a world we made McCutcheon, we were the boys in green
We were the boys in green, roosevelt created the ccc Green, in a world all paved and multiplexed
gathered seeds and planted woods
we were the boys in green
We were the boys in green, now as an old man i stand perplexed
Now as an old man i stand perplexed, to take a stand
We were the boys in green, with a pick and an axe McCutcheon, to join together
With their brains and their backs, hurrah for the boys in green
When i was lad of just eighteen, that grew to be your neighborhoods, we hauled the loads
stemmed the floods
Off in washington, we hauled the loads
we were the boys in green
We were the boys in green, trails and roads
we were the boys in green
We were the boys in green, hurrah for the boys in green, we fought the fires
Off in washington, we build the bridges
We were the boys in green, he called on fellers across the land
hurrah for the boys in green
in a world all paved and multiplexed
