lyrics
We are a band of brothers natives to the soil,
Fighting for our property we gained by honest toil;
But when our rights were threatened the cry rose near and far,
Hurrah for the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
CHORUS:
Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern rights, hurrah,
Hurrah for the bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star.
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers we were kind and just;
But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Frist, gallant South Carolina nobly made a stand,
Then came Alabama who took her by the hand,
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida,
All raised on high the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Ye men of valor gather around the banner of right,
Texas and fair Louisana will join us in the fight:
Davis our loved President, and Stephen's statesman rare;
Now rally round the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Fighting for our property we gained by honest toil;
But when our rights were threatened the cry rose near and far,
Hurrah for the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
CHORUS:
Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern rights, hurrah,
Hurrah for the bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star.
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers we were kind and just;
But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Frist, gallant South Carolina nobly made a stand,
Then came Alabama who took her by the hand,
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida,
All raised on high the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Ye men of valor gather around the banner of right,
Texas and fair Louisana will join us in the fight:
Davis our loved President, and Stephen's statesman rare;
Now rally round the bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
