Music: HARRY MACCARTHY
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, and 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!
Now here's to Virginia, the Old Dominion State,
Who with the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate.
Impelled by her example, let other states prepare
To hoist 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!
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!
