C F C G7 We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, C F G7 C fighting for our property we gained by honest toil F C G7 And when our rights were threaten'd, the cry rose near and far, C F G7 C Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star! C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! C F C G7 As long as the union was faithful to her trust, C F G7 C Like friend and bretheren, kind were we and just F C G7 But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, C F G7 C We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star! C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! C F C G7 First, gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand; C F G7 C Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; F C G7 Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, C F G7 C All rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star! C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! C F C G7 Ye men of valor, gather 'round the banner of the right, C F G7 C Texas and fair Louisiana, join us in the fight; F C G7 Davis, our loved President, and Stephens, Statesman rare, C F G7 C Now rally 'round the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star! C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C 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 link'd her fate;
Impell'd by her example, now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star!
C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star!
And 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!
C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star!
Then cheer boys, cheer, and raise the joyous shout;
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be giv'n,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven
C G7 F C Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! C F G7 C Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star!
