1. The Bonnie Blue Flag

Authorship

by Annie Chambers Ketchum , "The Bonnie Blue Flag", 1862

Come, brothers ! rally for the right ! 
  The bravest of the brave 
Sends forth her ringing battle-cry 
  Beside the Atlantic Wave ! 
She leads the way in honor's path!
  Come, brothers, near and far, 
Come rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag 
  That bears a single star ! 

We've borne the Yankee trickery, 
  The Yankee gibe and sneer, 
Till Yankee insolence and pride 
  Know neither shame nor fear ; 
But ready now with shot and steel 
  Their brazen front to mar, 
We hoist aloft the Bonnie Blue Flag 
  That bears a single star ! 

Now Georgia marches to the front, 
  And close beside her come 
Her sisters by the Mexique Sea, 
  With pealing trump and drum ; 
Till answering back from hill and glen 
  The rallying cry afar, 
A NATION hoists the Bonnie Blue Flag
  That bears a single star ! 

By every stone in Charleston Kay, 
  By each beleaguered town, 
We swear to rest not, night nor day, 
  But hunt the tyrants down ! 
Till bathed in valor's holy blood 
  The gazing world afar 
Shall greet with shouts the Bonnie Blue Hag 
  That bears the cross and star !
