Show I The Same Old Flag By DOUGLAS MALLOCH oOME one's bought a new flag, to O hang above the street, A red and white and blue flag, the marching men to greet, A tasseled, fringed and gold flag, a flag as pure as snow, And yet It is the old flag, the flag we used to know The same red, white and blue flag. The same old dare-and-do flag. The same old tried and true flag, The flag of long ago! Some one's bought a bright flag, the old began to fade, A blue and red and white flag, to carry In parade, A red as red as flame, a blue as blue as skies. And yet it is the same flag, the fairest fair-est flag that flies The same blue, red and white flag, The same old dare-to-flght flag, The one and only right flag, The flag that never dies I A tatter-to-a -thread flag, or flag however fair, It's the blue and white and red flag, the same flag anywhere. A cotton or a gold flag may hang above the door, And yet It Is the old flag, the flag our fathers bore The same red, white and blue flag, The same old dare-and-do flag. Our flag forevermore! The same old tried and true flag. Our flag forevermore 1 . 1933. Douglas Malloch. WNU Service. |
