American Old Time Song Lyrics: 49 Red White And Blue

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 49

RED, WHITE AND BLUE.

O Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free,
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates makes heroes assemble,
When liberty's form stands in view;
Thy banners make tyrants tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue.

Chorus.
When borne by the Red, White and Blue,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue;
Thy banners make tyrants tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue.

When war waged its wide desolation
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia, rode safe through the storm.
With her garland of victory o'er her,
When so proudly she bore her bold crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the Red, White and Blue.- Chorus.

The wine cup, the wine cup bring hither,
And fill you it up to the brim;
May the wreath they have won never wither,
Nor the star of their glory grow dim!
May the service united ne'er sever.
And hold to their colors so true!
The Army and the Navy for ever!
Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue!-Chorus.
