Subject(s): Flags - United States; Patriotism; American Flag


Sing for Old Glory a jubilant song,
Lift up Old Glory and bear it along,
Carry Old Glory with bravery strong,
Live and die for Old Glory.

Fair is Old Glory on land and on sea;
Free is Old Glory, exultantly free;
Glad is Old Glory forever to be;
Live and die for Old Glory.

Now for Old Glory a desperate fray;
Now is Old Glory's pre-eminent day;
Now for Old Glory to battle and pray,
Live and die for Old Glory.

Never in vain is Old Glory unfurled;
Deep in the conflict Old Glory is hurled;
Fight for Old Glory and fight for the world,
Live and die for Old Glory.
