Saving...
6. Then here's to our Confederacy, stron we are and brave, Like Patriots of old will fight our heritage to save; And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prepare, So Cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star. Chorus - 7 Now Cheer, boys, Cheer, Arkansas and Tennessee, At length are both gone out and swear they will be free; Now let another rousing Cheer for north Carolina be given For the Bonnie Blue Flag with the single has grown to be eleven Chorus Hurrah, Hurrah for Southern rights Hurrah, Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that's gained eleven stars. 8 The fight at Manassas was glorius and great, Our heroes whiped the yankees from the Old Dominion State Then here's to Beauregard, the Champion of the south, Who with unflinching spirit rushes to the Cannons mouth. Chorus - Hurrah, Hurrah! for Beauregard Hurrah, In triumph now he waves the Flag that gained the eleven stars
