Bonnie Blue

Just heard some boys listening to this smash hit today and found the lyrics on civilwar.org:

This is a great song, just take a minute to really read them...Harry McCarthy seems to be talking about exactly what I'm thinking this morning:

As long as the Union
Was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers
Both kind were we and just;
But now, when Northern treachery
Attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star.

CHORUS: Hurrah! Hurrah! For Southern rights hurrah! Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag That bears a single star.
