1. Raise the Flag by Charles Clark Raise the flag folks, raise the flag
Hold her high folks, don't let her drag­
She's mighty proud, so don't let her sag.
For over two hundred years, she has been by our side
For over two hundred years, we have served her with pride
She's the symbol of right and equality
The symbol of those who have died to be free
So, raise the flag folks, raise the flag
When Washington crossed the Delaware
He carried our flag, and it is still there
He held it high, so that all could see
For he knew what, it meant to free
Then a man by the name of Francis Scott Key
One day wrote, "Oh say can you see"
It's a song of our flag, and its majesty
Of freedom and rights and liberty­
So, raise the flag folks, Raise the flag
Then they fought at the Alamo
The United States, against Mexico
There were two hundred men, who fought to live free
Yes, two hundred died, for us can't you see ­
So, raise the flag folks, Raise the flag
Hold her high folks, don't let her drag
Raise the flag folks, Raise the flag
She's mighty proud, so don't let her sag
When the blue fought the gray, In the Civil War
They fought and they fought, "Till they could-fight no more
They fought for the right, Of all to be free
Yes they fought for the rights of both you and me
Then they sailed to fight in World War One
And they unfurled the-flag, and took her along
And 'tho they fought in the woods, and the trenches too
They never lost sight, of the red, white and blue
We have fought in Iraq and Germany
Korea, Japan and South Vietnam
We have given our all, for the right to be free
And our flag waves proud, for the whole world to see
So, Raise the flag folks, Raise the flag
Hold her high folks, don’t let her drag
Raise the flag folks, raise the flag
She's mighty proud; so don't let her sag
