Hurrah, hurrah for Southern Rags,
hurrah
Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag
that bears a single star
We are a band of brothers
and aides to the soil
Fighting for the property
we gain by honest toil
But when our rights were threatened,
the cries rose near and far
Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag
that wears a single star
Hurrah, hur rah for Southern Lights,
hurrah
Hurrah for the bonnie blue flag
that bears a single star
First gal in South Carolina,
nobly made to stand
Then come 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,
for Southern Lights, 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 length
has linked her fate
Impelled by her example,
now every state's prepared
To hoist on high the bonnet blue flag
that bears a single star
Hurrah, hurrah for Southern Lights,
hurrah
Hurrah for the bonnet blue flag
that bears a single star
Then cheer, boy, cheer, and cheer,
and cheer, oh, raise a joyous shout,
For Arkansas and North Carolina
have both now gone out,
And let another rousing cheer
for Tennessee be given,
The single star, the bonnet -blue flag,
has grown to be eleven.
Hurrah, hurrah,
for Southern Lights, hurrah,
Hurrah for the bonnet -blue flag
that bears a single star.
You
