THE STARS AND STRIPES. PATRIOTIC SONG AND CHORUS. THEO. F. SEWARD.

Con spirit. Solo or Quartette.

1. Rally round the flag, boys, Give it to the breeze, That's the banner we love,

2. Floating high above us, Glowing in the sun, Speaking loud to all hearts

3. Tyrants learn to fear it, Tremble at its sight, All who sigh for freedom

On the land and seas. Brave hearts are under it, Let the traitors brag,

Of a freedom won. Who, dares to sully it. Bought with precious blood,

Hail it with delight. Freedom and liberty: Let the echoes ring,

4

Gallant lads, fire away, And fight for the flag. Their flag is but a rag,

Gallant lads we'll fight for it Tho ours should swell the flood, Raise then the banner high,

That is what the world wants That our flag will bring, Raise then, etc.

Ours is the true one, Up with the stars and stripes, Down with the new one.

Ours is the true one, Up with the stars and stripes, Down with the new one.

Let our colors fly, boys, Guard them day and night, For victory is liberty, And God will bless the right.

Chorus.

Tenor. Alto. Rally round the flag boys, Give it to the breeze, That's the banner we love, On the land and seas.

Sopr. Bass. Rally round the flag boys, Give it to the breeze, That's the banner we love, On the land and seas.

Brave hearts are under it, Let the traitors brag, Gallant lads fire away, and fight for the flag.

Brave hearts are under it, Let the traitors brag, Gallant lads fire away, and fight for the flag.
