《Ragged Old Flag(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] I walked through a county courthouse square

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

[00:00:09] I said "Your old court house is

[00:00:11] Kinda run down

[00:00:11] He said "Naw it'll do for our little town"

[00:00:16] I said "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit

[00:00:19] And that's a ragged old flag

[00:00:20] You got hangin' on it"

[00:00:23] He said "Have a seat" and I sat down

[00:00:26] "Is this the first time you've

[00:00:27] Been to our little town"

[00:00:30] I said "I think it is"

[00:00:31] He said "I don't like to brag

[00:00:35] But we're kinda proud of

[00:00:36] That Ragged Old Flag

[00:00:41] "You see we got a little hole in that flag there

[00:00:44] When Washington took it across the Delaware

[00:00:48] And It got powder burned the night Francis

[00:00:51] Scott Key sat watching it

[00:00:54] Writing "Say Can You See"

[00:00:58] It got a bad rip in New Orleans

[00:01:02] With Packingham Jackson

[00:01:04] Tugging at its seams

[00:01:07] And It almost fell at the Alamo

[00:01:09] Beside the Texas flag

[00:01:11] But she waved on though

[00:01:16] She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville

[00:01:19] And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill

[00:01:23] There was Robert E Lee

[00:01:24] And Beauregard and Bragg

[00:01:26] And the south wind blew hard on

[00:01:28] That Ragged Old Flag

[00:01:32] "On Flanders Field in World War I

[00:01:36] She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun

[00:01:40] She turned blood red in World War II

[00:01:43] She hung limp and low a time or two

[00:01:49] She was in Korea Vietnam

[00:01:52] She went where she was sent

[00:01:53] By her Uncle Sam

[00:01:56] She waved from our ships upon the briny foam

[00:01:59] And now they've about quit

[00:02:01] Wavin' back here at home

[00:02:04] In her own good land here She's been abused

[00:02:08] She's been burned dishonored

[00:02:10] Denied an' refused

[00:02:12] And the government for which she stands

[00:02:15] Has scandalized throughout out the land

[00:02:18] And she's getting thread bare

[00:02:19] And she's wearin' thin

[00:02:21] But she's in good shape for the shape she's in

[00:02:25] Cause she's been through the fire before

[00:02:29] And i believe she can take a whole lot more

[00:02:32] "So we raise her up every morning

[00:02:35] And we take her down every night

[00:02:37] We don't let her touch ground the

[00:02:38] And we fold her up right

[00:02:43] On second thought

[00:02:45] I do like to brag

[00:02:47] Cause I'm mighty proud of

[00:02:49] That Ragged Old Flag"
