The Bonnie Blue Flag

We are a band of brothers

And native to the soil

Fighting for our liberty

With treasure

Blood and

Toil

And when our rights were threaten'd

The cry rose near

And far

Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag

That bears a single

Star

Hurrah

Hurrah

For southern rights

Hurrah

Hurrah

For the bonnie blue flag

That bears a single

Star

As long as the union was faithful to her trust

Like

Friends and like brethren kind were we 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

First

Gallant south carolina nobly made the stand

Then came alabama

Who took her by the hand

Next

Quickly mississippi

Georgia and florida

All

Rais'd on high the bonnie blue flag that bears a single

Star

Ye men of valor

Gather round the banner of the right

Texas and fair louisiana

Join us in the fight

Davis

Our loved president

And stephens

Statesman

Rare

Now rally round the bonnie blue flag that bears a

Single star

Hurrah

Hurrah

For southern rights

Hurrah

Hurrah

For the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star

And heroes to brave virginia

The old dominion state

With the young confederacy at length has link'd her

Fate

Impell'd by her example

Now other states prepare

To

Hoist on high the bonnie blue flag that bears a single

Star

Then cheer

Boys

Raise the joyous shot

For arkansas

And north carolina now have both gone out

And let another rousing cheer for tennessee be given

The single star of the bonnie blue flag has grown to be

Eleven

Then here's to our confederacy

Strong we are and

Brave

Like patriots of old

We'll fight our heritage

To save

And rather than submit to shame

To die we would

Prefer

So cheer for the bonnie blue flag that bears a

Single star

Hurrah

Hurrah

For southern rights

Hurrah

Hurrah

For the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star
