The Bonnie Blue Flag 1 We are a band of brothers and natives to the soil, Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil; And when our rights were threatened, the cry roll near and far: To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star Chorus - Hurrah, Hurrah: for Southern rights Hurrah, Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single Star 2 As long as the Union was faithful to her trust, Like friends and like brothers, we were kind and we were just; But now when northern treachery attemps our rights to mar, We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star Chorus - 3 First gallant South Carolina nobly led the band, Then came Alabama and took her by the hand; Then quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star Chorus - 4 Ye men of valor gather round our banner of Right, Texas and Louisiana will join us in the fight; Davis, our loved President, an Stephens, Statesmen rare, Now rally around our Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star: Chorus - 5 Now here to old Virginia the old Dominion state, Who 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 Chorus - Hurrah Hurrah for Southern Rights Hurrah Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star
