  1. THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG

    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
    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, (Hurrah)
    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
    Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
    Davis, our good President and Stephens statesmen are
    All rally ’round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star, (Hurrah!)
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    For Southern rights, hurrah!
    Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a 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 a single star, (Hurrah!)
    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
