Give Us A Flag (Album Version) - Richie Havens[00:00:00]
Oh Fremont he told them when the war it first begun [00:00:09]
How to save the Union and the way it should be done [00:00:14]
But Kentucky swore so hard and Old Abe he had his fears [00:00:19]
Till ev'ry hope was lost but the colored volunteers [00:00:24]
McClellan went to Richmond with two hundred thousand brave;[00:00:32]
He said "Keep back the negers" and the Union he would save;[00:00:37]
Little Mac he had his way still the Union is in tears [00:00:41]
Now they call for the help of the colored volunteers [00:00:46]
Oh give us a flag [00:00:54]
All free without a slave;[00:00:57]
We'll fight to defend it as our fathers did so brave;[00:01:00]
The gallant Comp'ny "A" [00:01:04]
Will make the rebels dance [00:01:07]
And we'll stand by the Union if we only have a chance [00:01:09]
Old Jeff says he'll hang us if we dare to meet him armed [00:01:17]
A very big thing but we are not at all alarmed;[00:01:22]
For he first has got to catch us before the way is clear [00:01:27]
And that is "what's the matter" with the colored volunteer [00:01:32]
So rally boys rally let us never mind the past;[00:01:40]
We had a hard road to travel but our day is coming fast;[00:01:45]
For God is for the right and we have no need to fear [00:01:50]
The Union must be saved by the colored volunteer [00:01:55]
Oh give us a flag [00:02:03]
All free without a slave;[00:02:05]
We'll fight to defend it as our fathers did so brave;[00:02:08]
The gallant Comp'ny "A" [00:02:13]
Will make the rebels dance [00:02:15]
And we'll stand by the Union if we only have a chance [00:02:18]
And we'll stand by the Union if we only have a chance[00:02:24]
