derek warfield - the bonnie blue flag lyrics

[verse 1]
we are a band of brothers, and natives to the soil
and fighting for our property we gained by honest toil
and when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
to hoist, on high, the bonnie blue flag, that bears a single star!
[chorus]
hurrah! hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah!
hurrah! for the bonnie blue flag, that bears a single star!

[verse 2]
as long as the union was faithful to our trust
like friends and like brothers we were kind and we were just
but now a northern treachеry attempts, our rights, to mar
we’ll hoist, on high, the bonniе 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!

[music]

[verse 3]
first, southern carolina had n0bly made her stand
and then came alabama, who took her by the hand
next, came mississippi, georgia and florida
all raised, on high, the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star!

[chorus]
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!

[verse 4]
ye men of valor, gather ’round the banner of the right
brave texas and louisian’ will join us in the fight
and davis, our loved president, and stephens, statesman rare
now rally ’round the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star!

[verse 5]
now here’s to old virginia, the old dominion state
who, 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!
[music]

[verse 6]
then here’s to our confederacy, strong and we are brave
like patriots of old, we’ll fight, our heritage to save
then, rather than submit to shame, to die, we would prefer
so cheer for the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star!

we’re fighting for our mothers, our sisters and our wives
for these, and our country’s rights, we’d sacrifice our lives!

[chorus]
hurrah! hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah!
hurrah! for the bonnie blue flag, that bears a single star!

[verse 7]
then cheer, boys, cheer and raise the joyous shout
for arkansas and carolina now have both gone out
then let another rousing cheer for tennessee be given
the single star of the bonnie blue flag has grown to eleven!

[chorus]
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!
