Bonnie Blue Flag Lyrics - Kid Songs



 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.


As long as the Union was faithful to her trust

Like friends and brethren, kind were we, and just

But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar

We hoist on high 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.


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.


And here's to brave Virginia the Old Dominion state

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 the 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 the single star.


Then cheer boys cheer raise the joyous shout

For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out

And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given

The single star on the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.


And to Missouri we extend both heart and hand

And welcome her a sister of our Confederate band

Tho surrounded by oppression no one dare deter

Her adding to our Bonnie Blue Flag her bright and twelfth star!
