Rally round the flag, boys- Give it to the breeze! That's the banner that we bore On the land and seas. Brave hearts are under it, Let the traitors brag, Gallant lads, fire away! And fight for the flag. Their flag is but a rag- Ours is the true one; Up with the Stars and Stripes! with the new one! Let our colors fly, boys- Guard them day and night; For victory is liberty, And God will bless the right. View quote
