The Bonnie Blue Flag

We are a band of brothers and 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 Hurrah! Hurrah! For Southern rights, hurrah! Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star First gallant South Carolina nobly 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,(Hurrah) 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 good President and Stephens statesmen are All rally 'round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star,(Hurrah!) 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! 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
