I walked through a county courthouse square

On a park bench an old man was sitting there

I said your old court house is kinda run down

He said Naw it'll do for our little town

I said your old flag pole is leaned a little bit

And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it

He said have a seat and I sat down

Is this the first time you've been to our little town

I said I think it is

He said I don't like to brag but we're kinda proud of

That ragged old flag

You see we got a little hole in that flag there

When Washington took it across the delaware

And It got powder burned

The night francis scott key sat watching it

Writing say can you see

It got a rip in New Orleans

With Packingham and Jackson

Tugging at its seams

And it almost fell at the alamo

Beside the texas flag

She waved on though

She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville

Got cut again at shiloh hill

There was Robert E Lee and beauregard and bragg

And the south wind blew hard on

That ragged old flag

On flanders field in world war one

She got a big hole from a bertha gun

She turned blood red in world war two

She hung limp and low by the time it was through

She was in korea vetnam

She went where she was sent

By her uncle sam

She waved from our ships upon the briny foam

And now they've about quit waving back here at home

In her own good land here She's been abused

She's been burned dishonored denied an' refused

And the government for which she stands

Scandalized throughout out the land

And she's getting thread bare

And she's wearing thin

But she's in good shape

For the shape she's in

Cause she's been through the fire before

And she can take a whole lot more

So we raise her up every morning

And we bring her down slow every night

We don't let her touch the ground

And we fold her up right

On second thought

I do like to brag

Cause I'm mighty proud of

That ragged old flag
