American Old Time Song Lyrics: 28 Flag Of The Free
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 28
FLAG OF THE FREE.
Nobly our flag flutters o'er us to-day,
Emblem of peace, pledge liberty's sway;
Its foes shall tremble and shrink in dismay
If ever insulted it be!
Our stripes and stars, loved and honored by all,
Shall float forever where freedom may call;
It still shall be the flag of the free,
Emblem of sweet liberty!
Chorus.
Here we will gather its cause to defend.
Let patriots rally and wise counsel lend,
It still shall be the flag of the free,
Emblem of sweet liberty!
With it in beauty no flag can compare.
All nations honor our banner so fair;
If to insult it a traitor should dare.
Crushed to the earth let him be!
Freedom and progress our watchword to-day,
When duty calls who dare disobey?
Honor to thee, thou flag of the free.
Emblem of sweet liberty!-chorus.
