歌词原文
第一部份
- 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 threatened, the cry rose near and far
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第二部份
- As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
- Like friends and like brethren, kind were we, and just
- But now, when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
- We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第三部份
- First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
- Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
- Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
- All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第四部份
- Ye men of valor gather round the banner of the right
- Texas and fair Louisiana join us in the fight
- Davis, our loved President, and Stephens statesmen rare
- Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第五部份
- Now here's to brave Virginia, the old Dominion State,
- With the young Confederacy at last has sealed her fate,
- And spurred by her example, now other states prepare
- To hoist high the bonnie blue flag that bears a single star.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第六部份
- Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
- For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out,
- And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given,
- The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
第七部分
- Then here's to our 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.
- Hurrah! Hurrah!
- For Southern rights, hurrah!
- Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.[1]
