David Buttolph, David Buttolph Orchestra, David Buttolph Chorus - Bonnie Blue Flag (Vocal)

We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil a
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
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Hurrah HurrahFor 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 HurrahFor 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 loved President, and Stephens statesmen rare
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Hurrah HurrahFor Southern rights, hurrah
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Now here's to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy at last has sealed her fate
And spurred by her example, now other states prepare
To hoist high 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
Hurrah HurrahFor 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 For Southern rights, hurrah
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil a
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

Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
