We are a band of brothers,
Native to the soil
Fighting for the property 
We gained by honest toil.
And when our rights were threatened,
The cry rose near and far; 
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

 [bad word] 
 Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Southern rights, Hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!

As long as the Union
Was faithful to her [bad word] 
Like friends and 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.

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.

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 are;
Now rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.

And here's to brave Virginia,
The Old Dominion State.
With the young Confederacy
At length has linked her fate.
Impelled by her example,
Now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag
That bears a single star.

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. 

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!
