97th Regimental String Band - The Bonnie Blue Flag lyrics

Artist: 97th Regimental String Band

album: Battlefields and Campfires: Civil War Era Songs, Vol. I


We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil,
We're 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!
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends, and like brethren, kind were we and just,
But now in northern treachery attempts our rights to mar'
We hoist on 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 her stand,
Then came Alabama who took her by the hand,
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida,
All waist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag!
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,
For Texas and fair Louisiana joined us in the fight,
And gave us our great President and Steven Statesmen were,
All rally round 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!
And here's to brave Virginia, the old dominion state
With the young Confederacy, at last he sealed her faith,
Impelled by her example, now 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 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!
Hurrah, Hurrah, for southern rights, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
And 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!
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!
