The Bonnie Blue Flag

Come, brothers! rally for the right!

The bravest of the brave

Sends forth her ringing battle-cry

Beside the Atlantic Wave!

She leads the way in honor's path!

Come, brothers, near and far,

Come rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag

That bears a single star!

We've borne the Yankee trickery,

The Yankee gibe and sneer,

Till Yankee insolence and pride

Know neither shame nor fear;

But ready now with shot and steel

Their brazen front to mar,

We hoist aloft the Bonnie Blue Flag

That bears a single star!

Now Georgia marches to the front,

And close beside her come

Her sisters by the Mexique Sea,

With pealing trump and drum;

Till answering back from hill and glen

The rallying cry afar,

A NATION hoists the Bonnie Blue Flag

That bears a single star!

By every stone in Charleston Kay,

By each beleaguered town,

We swear to rest not, night nor day,

But hunt the tyrants down!

Till bathed in valor's holy blood

The gazing world afar

Shall greet with shouts the Bonnie Blue Hag

That bears the cross and star!
