We are a band of brothers, And native to the soil, Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood, and toil; And when our rights were threaten'd, The cry rose near and far, Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a Single Star!
CHORUS
Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern Rights Hurrah! Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
2.
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust, Like friends and like bretheren kind were we and just; But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, We hoist the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
(CHORUS)

First, gallant South Carolina, nobly made the stand; Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, All rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star!
(CHORUS)

Ye men of valor, gather round the Banner of the Right, Texas and fair Louisana, join us in fight; Davis, our loved President, and Stphens, Stateman rare, Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
(CHORUS)

And hear'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 State[s] prepare To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.

Then cheer, boys, raise the joyous shout, For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out; And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given To Single Star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven.
(CHORUS)

Then here's to 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.
CHORUS
Hurrah! Hurrah! for Southern Rights Hurrah! Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag has gain'd th' Eleventh Star!
No, I just found it amazing that it hadn't been pulled, or at the very least been moved off the latest posts page. I am from Texas, BTW, but I remain humble in my arrogance.
I seem to have gotten over the War of Northern Aggression.
Yes, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys
We'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
We will rally from the hillside
We'll gather from the plain
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Chorus
The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star!
While we rally 'round the flag, boys,
Rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We are springing to the call
For three hundred thousand more
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
And we'll fill the vacant ranks
Of our brothers gone before
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Chorus
We will wecome to our numbers
The loyal, true and brave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
And although he may be poor
He shall never be a slave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Chorus
So we're springing to the call
From the East and from the West
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
And we'll hurl the rebel crew
From the land we love the best
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
