Ragged Old Flag (background music - Shenandoah) (arr. M. Brown and F. Ticheli) - Michael Dudley/United States Army Chorus/United States Army Band[00:00:00]

I walked through a county courthouse square[00:00:45]

On a park bench an old man was sitting there[00:00:48]

I said Your old courthouse is kinda run down[00:00:53]

He said Naw it'll do for our little town[00:00:58]

I said Your flagpole has leaned a little bit[00:01:04]

And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it[00:01:08]

He said Have a seat and I sat down[00:01:13]

And he said[00:01:18]

Is this the first time you've been to our little town[00:01:19]

I said I think it is He said I don't like to brag[00:01:24]

But we're kind proud of that Ragged Old Flag[00:01:29]

You see we got a little hole in that flag there when[00:01:35]

Washington took it across the Delaware[00:01:38]

And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key[00:01:42]

Sat watching it writing Say Can You See[00:01:46]

And it got a bad rip in New Orleans[00:01:51]

With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems[00:01:54]

And it almost fell at the Alamo[00:01:59]

Beside the Texas flag but she waved on though[00:02:02]

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville[00:02:08]

And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill[00:02:13]

There was Robert E Lee Beauregard and Bragg[00:02:17]

And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag[00:02:22]

On Flanders Field in World War I[00:02:29]

She got a big hole from a Bertha gun[00:02:32]

She turned blood red in World War II[00:02:36]

She hung limp and low the time war II[00:02:40]

She was in Korea and Vietnam[00:02:45]

She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam[00:02:48]

Native American is brown yellow and white[00:02:52]

All ships red blood for the stars and straves[00:02:56]

In her own good land here she's been abused[00:03:02]

She's been burned dishonored denied[00:03:06]

And refused[00:03:10]

And the government for which she stands[00:03:13]

Has benn scandle lies and for an ialand[00:03:15]

And she's getting threadbare and she's wearing thin[00:03:20]

But she's in good shape for the shape she's in[00:03:25]

'Cause she's been through the fire before[00:03:29]

And I believe she can take a whole lot more[00:03:33]

So we raise her up every morning[00:03:37]

Take her Down every night[00:03:39]

We don't let her touch the ground and we fold[00:03:42]

Her up right[00:03:46]

On second thought I do like to brag[00:03:48]

'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag[00:03:52]

Everynight Everynight my love[00:03:57]
