You're a Grand Old Flag

You're a Grand Old Flag - American Quartet/The Peerless Quartet

There's a feeling comes a stealing

And it sets my brain a reeling

When I'm listening to the music of a military band

Any tune like Yankee Doodle

Simply sets me off my noodle

It's that patriotic something

That no one can understand

Way down South in the land of cotton

Melody untiring

Ain't that inspiring

Hurrah Hurrah We'll join the jubilee

And that's going some

For the Yankees by gum

Red white and blue

I am for you

Honest you're a grand old flag

You're a grand old flag

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave

You're the emblem of

The land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true

Under red white and blue

Where there's never a boast or brag

But should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the grand old flag

I'm a cranky hanky panky

I'm a dead square honest Yankee

And I'm mighty proud of that old flag

That flies for Uncle Sam

Though I don't believe in raving

Every time I see it waving

There's a chill runs up my back

That makes me glad I'm what I am

Here's a land with a million soldiers

That's if we should need them

We'll fight for freedom

Hurrah Hurrah For every Yankee tar

And old G A R

Every stripe every star

Red white and blue

Hats off to you

Honest you're a grand old flag

You're a grand old flag

You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave

You're the emblem of

The land I love

The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true

Under red white and blue

Where there's never a boast or brag

But should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the grand old flag
