All the words

  1. You're a grand old flag, tho' you're torn to a rag,
    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.
