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 threatened, 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.
 (music)
 As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
 Like friends and like brethren, kind we were, and just
 But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
 We'll hoist on high 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.
 (music)
 First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
 Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
 Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, Florida
 All raised on high 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.
 (music)
 Ye men of valor gather around the banner of the right
 Texas and fair Louisiana 've join us in the fight
 Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen are
 Now rally behind 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.
 (music)
 And here's to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State.
 With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate.
 Impelled by her example, now other States prepare
 To hoist on high 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.
 (music)
 Then cheer, boys, cheer, and raise a joyous shout
 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!
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 For Southern rights, hurrah!
 Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
 (music)
 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, 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.
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
 For Southern rights, hurrah!
 Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
