We are a Gfighting for our CUnion, we're Gfighting for our D7trust,

[Chorus]
HurGrah! HurD7rah! for Cequal rights, hurGrah!
HurGrah! for the Cgood old flag that D7bears the stripes and Gstars!
[Verse 2]
We Gtrusted you as Cbrothers, unGtil you drew the D7sword,
with Gimpious hands at Sumpter Cyou cut the D7silver Gcord.
So now you hear the Cbugles, we Gcome, the sons of D7Mars,
to Grally round the brave old flag, that Cbears the D7stripes and Gstars.
[Chorus]
HurGrah! HurD7rah! for Cequal rights, hurGrah!

and Grally round the brave old flag that Cbears the D7stripes and Gstars.
[Chorus]

Our pride is fair CColumbia, no Gstain her beauty D7mars,
on hGer we'll raise the brave old flag that Cbears the D7stripes and Gstars.

We'll pledge the hand of Cfriendship, and Gthink no more of D7war,
but Gdwell in peace beneath the flag that Cbears the D7stripes and Gstars.
[Chorus]
HurGrah! HurD7rah! for Cequal rights, hurGrah!
