I walked through a county courthouse square[00:00:01]

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

I said "Your old court house is[00:00:09]

Kinda run down [00:00:11]

He said "Naw it'll do for our little town" [00:00:11]

I said "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit [00:00:16]

And that's a ragged old flag[00:00:19]

You got hangin' on it" [00:00:20]

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

"Is this the first time you've[00:00:26]

Been to our little town"[00:00:27]

I said "I think it is"[00:00:30]

He said "I don't like to brag [00:00:31]

But we're kinda proud of[00:00:35]

That Ragged Old Flag[00:00:36]

"You see we got a little hole in that flag there [00:00:41]

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

And It got powder burned the night Francis[00:00:48]

Scott Key sat watching it [00:00:51]

Writing "Say Can You See"[00:00:54]

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

With Packingham Jackson[00:01:02]

Tugging at its seams [00:01:04]

And It almost fell at the Alamo[00:01:07]

Beside the Texas flag [00:01:09]

But she waved on though [00:01:11]

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[00:01:23]

And Beauregard and Bragg [00:01:24]

And the south wind blew hard on[00:01:26]

That Ragged Old Flag[00:01:28]

"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 a time or two [00:01:43]

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

She went where she was sent[00:01:52]

By her Uncle Sam [00:01:53]

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

And now they've about quit[00:01:59]

Wavin' back here at home[00:02:01]

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

She's been burned dishonored [00:02:08]

Denied an' refused [00:02:10]

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

Has scandalized throughout out the land [00:02:15]

And she's getting thread bare [00:02:18]

And she's wearin' thin [00:02:19]

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[00:02:32]

And we take her down every night [00:02:35]

We don't let her touch ground the[00:02:37]

And we fold her up right [00:02:38]

On second thought[00:02:43]

I do like to brag[00:02:45]

Cause I'm mighty proud of[00:02:47]

That Ragged Old Flag"[00:02:49]
