An 60’ish guy who is marine stood up and told Cain that people forget the SECOND STANZA to the Star Spangle Banner...He then sang it in a beautiful, powerful and moving voice..people in the crowd realized what is happening and stood up with hands on their hearts.
Thanks. When Frances Scott Keyes wrote the lyrics it was a poem IN DEFENSE OF FORT MC HENRY and was published in the local paper. It didn’t take long for the guys at the local watering hole to realize that the words fit a popular bar song TO ANACHRION (sp) IN HEAVEN (About a local whore who got into heaven by mistake) It’s difficult to find accurate words of the last song...most have been “cleaned up”...But years ago I ran across them...Quite descriptive.
There are four stanza...although most books only contain three (IF you can find them)
