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

Written by：Johnny Cash/Frank Ticheli[00:00:01]

I walked through a county courthouse square[00:00:44]

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

I said your old court house is[00:00:52]

Kinda run down[00:00:55]

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

I said your old flag pole is leaned a little bit[00:01:03]

And that's a ragged old flag[00:01:08]

You got hangin' on it[00:01:10]

He said have a seat and I sat down[00:01:12]

And decent is this the first time you've[00:01:18]

Been to our little town[00:01:21]

I said I think it is[00:01:24]

He said I don't like to brag[00:01:27]

But we're kinda proud of[00:01:29]

That ragged old flag[00:01:31]

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

When washington took it across the delaware[00:01:38]

And it got powder burned the night francis[00:01:42]

Scott key sat watching it[00:01:45]

Writing say can you see[00:01:47]

And it got a bad rip in new orleans[00:01:50]

With packingham jackson[00:01:53]

Tugging at its seams[00:01:56]

And it almost fell at the alamo[00:01:58]

Beside the texas flag[00:02:02]

But she waved on though[00:02:04]

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

And she got cut again at shiloh hill[00:02:12]

There was robert e lee[00:02:17]

And beauregard and bragg[00:02:18]

And the south wind blew hard on[00:02:21]

That ragged old flag[00:02:24]

On flanders field in world war 1[00:02:28]

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

She turned blood red in world war 2[00:02:35]

She hung limp and low a time or two[00:02:39]

She was in korea vietnam[00:02:45]

She went where she was sent[00:02:48]

By her uncle sam[00:02:50]

Lady for Americans brown yellow and white[00:02:52]

Or shed red black for the store and the stress[00:02:56]

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

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

Denied an' refused[00:03:08]

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

Has been scandalized throughout out the land[00:03:15]

And she's getting thread bare[00:03:19]

And she's wearin' thin[00:03:22]

But she's in good shape for the shape she's in[00:03:24]

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

And I believe she can take a whole lot more[00:03:32]

So we raise her up every morning[00:03:36]

And we take her down every night[00:03:39]

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

And we fold her up right[00:03:45]

On second thought[00:03:48]

I do like to brag[00:03:49]

Cause I'm mighty proud of[00:03:52]

That ragged old flag[00:03:54]
