Ragged Old Flag

歌曲歌詞

I walked through a county courthouse square

On a park bench an old man was sitting there

I said "Your old courthouse is kinda run down "

He said "Naw it'll do for our little town "

I said "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit

And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it "

He said "Have a seat " and I sat down

"Is this the first time you've been to our little town "

I said "I think it is " He said "I don't like to brag

But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag

"You see we got a little hole in that flag there when

Washington took it across the Delaware

And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key

Sat watching it writing Say Can You See

And it got a bad rip in New Orleans

With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems

"And it almost fell at the Alamo

Beside the Texas flag but she waved on though

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville

And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill

There was Robert E Lee Beauregard and Bragg

And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag

"On Flanders Field in World War I

She got a big hole from a Bertha gun
