we are DanQ OF DfOLnefS,
And native to the soil
Fighting for the property
We gained by honest toll.
And when our rights were threatened
/ The cry arose near and far,
Hurrah for the Bonny Blue Flag
That bears single star.
As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust,
| Like friends and like brothers
Kind were we and just;
| But when the northern treachery
Attempts our rights TO mar,
We hoist on high the Bonny Blue Flag
That bears single star.
First gallant South Carolina
| Nobly took the stand
Then came Alabama
And took her by the hand;
Next quickly Mississippi,
Georgia and Florida
All raised on high the Bonny Blue Flag
| That bears single star.
