Ragged Old Flag(Live at The Carter Fold Hiltons VA 1976) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

I walked through a county courthouse square[00:00:40]

On a park bench an old man was sittin' there [00:00:43]

I said "Your old court house is kinda run down [00:00:47]

He said "Naw it'll do for our little town" [00:00:49]

I said "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit [00:00:52]

And that's a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it" [00:00:54]

He said "Have a seat" and I sat down [00:00:58]

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

I said "I think it is"[00:01:03]

He said "I don't like to brag but we're kinda proud of[00:01:04]

That Ragged Old Flag[00:01:07]

"You see we got a little hole in that flag there [00:01:15]

When Washington took it across the Delaware [00:01:17]

And It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it [00:01:19]

Writing "Say Can You See"[00:01:24]

It got a bad rip in New Orleans with Packingham & Jackson[00:01:27]

Tugging at its seams [00:01:30]

And It almost fell at the Alamo[00:01:32]

Beside the Texas flag [00:01:35]

But she waved on though [00:01:36]

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville [00:01:39]

And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill [00:01:41]

There was Robert E Lee and Beauregard and Bragg [00:01:43]

And the south wind blew hard on[00:01:46]

That Ragged Old Flag[00:01:49]

"On Flanders Field in World War I [00:01:53]

She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun [00:01:56]

She turned blood red in World War II[00:01:58]

She hung limp and low a time or two [00:02:02]

She was in Korea Vietnam She went where she was sent[00:02:05]

By her Uncle Sam [00:02:13]

She waved from our ships upon the briny foam[00:02:14]

And now they've about quit wavin' back here at home[00:02:18]

In her own good land here She's been abused [00:02:20]

She's been burned dishonored denied an' refused [00:02:22]

And the government for which she stands[00:02:24]

Has scandalized throughout out the land [00:02:28]

And she's getting thread bare and she's wearin' thin [00:02:30]

But she's in good shape for the shape she's in [00:02:34]

Cause she's been through the fire before[00:02:37]

And i believe she can take a whole lot more [00:02:39]

"So we raise her up every morning[00:02:41]

And we take her down every night [00:02:43]

We don't let her touch the ground [00:02:45]

And we fold her up right [00:02:48]

On second thought[00:02:51]

I *do* like to brag[00:02:51]

Cause I'm mighty proud of[00:02:55]

That Ragged Old Flag[00:02:58]
