First gallant South Carolina boldly made her stand
Next came Alabama, and took her by the hand
Next was Mississippi, then Georgia and Florida
All raising on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Hurrah, for Southern rights, hurrah!
Ye men of labor and valour, rally 'round the banner of the right
For Texas and Louisiana have joined us in the fight
Davis, our new President, and Stephens, statesmen are
All rallying on the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Hurrah, for Southern rights, hurrah!
Then cheer, boys, cheer, raise up a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina, they both have now gone out
Now let out another rousing cheer for Tennessee as well
The single star of the Bonnie Blue flag has grown to be eleven!
