Just for grins I changed warfare and geographical references. I also deleted the verses that sing the order of secession. I think we have a new (old) State's Rights song!
And a State's Rights Flag!
We are a band of brothers and native to the soil
Fighting for our Liberty, With treasure, blood and toil
And when our rights are threatened, a cry rises near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For
our States rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
2. As long as the
Federal Government was faithful to it's trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind we were, and just
But now, when
Federal treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For
our States rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
7. Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old we'll fight, our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For
our States rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
