tennessee ernie ford - the bonnie blue flag lyrics
we are a band of brothers,
native to the soil
fighting for the property
we gained by honest toil.
and 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 a single star!
first gallant south carolina
n-bly made the stand,
then came alabama
and took her by the hand;
next, quickly, 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!
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 statesmen are;
now rally round 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!
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.
chorus:
hurrah! hurrah!
for southern rights, hurrah!
hurrah for the bonnie blue flag
that bears a single star!
then cheer, boys, cheer,
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!
