| Lyric | Song |
Land where my fathers died Land of the pilgrims' pride, | |
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander, This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief. | |
Stand beside her, and guide her Through the night with a light from above. | |
I pledge thee my allegiance America the bold | |
You're the emblem of the land I love. The home of the free and the brave. | |
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. | |
For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain | |
I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps, to the sparklin’ sands of her diamond deserts | |
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean | |
Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey! The army's on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong | |
Thy banners make tyranny tremble, when borne by the red, white and blue | |
I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times they are not forgotten; | |
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! | |
Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever | |
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. | |
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there | |
Day is done, gone the sun From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky | |
Stuck a feather in his cap, And called it macaroni | |
Firm, united let us be, Rallying round our liberty | |
The men will cheer and the boys will shout The ladies they will all turn out | |
