Ragged Old Flag - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

I walked through a county courthouse square[00:00:03]

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

I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down[00:00:08]

He said, naw, it'll do for our little town[00:00:11]

I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit[00:00:14]

And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it[00:00:17]

He said, have a seat, and I sat down[00:00:20]

Is this the first time you've been to our little town?[00:00:22]

I said, I think it is[00:00:26]

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

But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag[00:00:30]

You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when[00:00:37]

Washington took it across the Delaware[00:00:39]

And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key[00:00:41]

Sat watching it writing say can you see[00:00:45]

And it got a bad rip in New Orleans[00:00:48]

With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams[00:00:51]

And it almost fell at the Alamo[00:00:54]

Beside the texas flag, but she waved on though[00:00:56]

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville[00:00:59]

And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill[00:01:03]

There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg[00:01:03]

And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag[00:01:08]

On Flanders field in World War one[00:01:15]

She got a big hole from a Bertha gun[00:01:18]

She turned blood red in World War Two[00:01:21]

She hung limp and low a time or two[00:01:23]

She was in Korea and Vietnam[00:01:27]

She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam[00:01:31]

She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam[00:01:35]

And now they've about quit waving her back here at home[00:01:38]

In her own good land here she's been abused[00:01:41]

She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused[00:01:44]

And the government for which she stands[00:01:47]

Is scandalized throughout the land[00:01:49]

And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin[00:01:51]

But she's in good shape for the shape she's in[00:01:54]

'Cause she's been through the fire before[00:01:58]

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

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

We take her down every night[00:02:05]

We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right[00:02:06]

On second thought, I do like to brag[00:02:09]

'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag[00:02:13]
