Ragged Old Flag (破烂的旧国旗) (Album Version) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]

I walked through a county courthouse square [00:00:02]

On a park bench an old man was sitting there [00:00:05]

I said "Your old courthouse is kinda run down "[00:00:09]

He said "Naw it'll do for our little town "[00:00:12]

I said "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit [00:00:16]

And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it "[00:00:19]

He said "Have a seat " and I sat down [00:00:23]

"Is this the first time you've been to our little town "[00:00:26]

I said "I think it is " He said "I don't like to brag [00:00:30]

But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag [00:00:35]

"You see we got a little hole in that flag there when[00:00:40]

Washington took it across the Delaware [00:00:44]

And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key[00:00:48]

Sat watching it writing Say Can You See [00:00:53]

And it got a bad rip in New Orleans[00:00:58]

With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems [00:01:02]

"And it almost fell at the Alamo[00:01:06]

Beside the Texas flag but she waved on though [00:01:09]

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville[00:01:16]

And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill [00:01:19]

There was Robert E Lee Beauregard and Bragg [00:01:22]

And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag [00:01:26]

"On Flanders Field in World War I[00:01:32]

She got a big hole from a Bertha gun [00:01:36]

She turned blood red in World War II [00:01:40]

She hung limp and low by the time it was through [00:01:43]

She was in Korea and Vietnam [00:01:49]

She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam [00:01:52]

"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam [00:01:56]

And now they've about quit waving her back here at home [00:01:59]

In her own good land here she's been abused --[00:02:04]

She's been burned dishonored denied and refused [00:02:07]

"And the government for which she stands[00:02:12]

Is scandalized throughout the land [00:02:15]

And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin [00:02:18]

But she's in good shape for the shape she's in [00:02:21]

'Cause she's been through the fire before[00:02:25]

And I believe she can take a whole lot more [00:02:29]

"So we raise her up every morning take her[00:02:32]

Down every night [00:02:35]

We don't let her touch the ground and we fold[00:02:36]

Her up right [00:02:39]

On second thought I do like to brag [00:02:43]

'Cause I'm mighty proud of the Ragged Old Flag "[00:02:47]
