We'll Stand By The Flag
Words by H.A. Freeman, Music by E.T. Paull
Verse 1: A Banner, Red, White and Blue behold unfurled!
With a glory of stars that light the Western World.
Oh its white grows grows whiter and its stars shine brighter,
As it greets each coming day.
All nations pay homage to its stripes of red,
They were crimsoned in precious blood by heroes shed,
Oh its blue is royal and its stars are loyal,
Fair and free they gleam in bright array.
Chorus: We'll stand by the flag boys forever.
We'll pledge it our truest endeavor,
The symbol of the free, our flag shall always be,
The grandest emblem of them all.
We'll stand by the old flag forever,
Old Glory, Columbia's pride,
What e'er may befall we are Patriots all,
And we'll fight for it side by side.
Verse 2: When our Banner first came to us in seventy-seven,
'Twas the promise of Liberty a gift from Heav'n,
, Then the nations trembled as the hosts assembled,
'Neath the stars and stripes to stay.
Our country has risen in her God-like might,
Never fearing to battle for the Truth and right,
And opression falters and forsakes her alters,
When our standard floats above the fray.
Chorus: We'll stand by the flag boys forever.
We'll pledge it our truest endeavor,
The symbol of the free, our flag shall always be,
The grandest emblem of them all.
We'll stand by the old flag forever,
Old Glory, Columbia's pride,
What e'er may befall we are Patriots all,
And we'll fight for it side by side.
