In Vermont as well as New York
The Green Mountain Boys ruled the land
Stationed at Ticonderoga
Their Colonel was the best of the clan

Ethan led the Green Mountain Boys
Brought the British a huge defeat
Known as a gruff, hard drinking man
Yet this man had a gallant streak

On a visit to a dentist friend
A woman came in with a toothache
Told that the tooth had to be pulled
She found the news too hard to take

The lady was clearly terrified
Especially when she saw the tools
Was said Ethan tried to calm her down
But, too panicked she simply refused

"I will prove you have nothing to fear"
Allen said to her most sincerely
The he sat down in the dentist's chair
His instructions he gave quite clearly

Telling his friend to remove a tooth
And the dentist readily agreed
The woman watched as the tooth was pulled
Quickly her inhibitions were freed

Reassured she agreed to the work
Thanks to what Colonel Allen did
Gallantly he stood by her side
Though suffering, his pain he well hid.
