You're a grand old flag, you're a high flying flag,

And forever, in peace, may you wave.

You're the emblem of the land I love.

The home of the free and the brave.

Ev'ry heart beats true, under Red, White and Blue,

Where there's never a boast or brag.

But, should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
