40 80UTHERN PATRIOTIC SONGS.
'Tis joy to be a Ranger ! to fight for dear Southland !
'Tis joy to follow Wharton, with his gallant, trusty band !
'Tis joy to see our Harrison plunge like a meteor bright
Into the thickest of the fray, and deal his deathly might,
! who'd not be a Ranger, and follow Wharton's cry !
And battle for their country, and, if needs be, die !
By the Colorado's waters, on the Gulf's deep murm'ring shore,
On our soft, green, peaceful prairies, are homes we may see no
more
[hairs.
But in those homes oui^ gentle wives, and mothers with silvery
Are loving us with tender hearts, and shielding us with prayers.
So trusting in our Country's God, vv^e draw our stout good brand,
For those we love at home—our altars, and our land
Up ! up ! with the crimson battle-flag—let the blue pennon fly ;
Our steeds are stamping proudly—they hear the battle-cry !
The thundering bomb, the bugle's call, proclaim the foe is near : We strike for God and native land, and all we hold most dear.
Then spring into the saddle, and shake the bridle free,
For Wharton leads, thro' fire and blood, for Home and Victory
THE BOMIE BLUE PLAG.
BY HARRY MACARTHY.
We are a band of brothers, and natives to the soil,
Fighting for the property we gain'd by honest toil,
And when our rights were threaten'd, the cry rose near and far,
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
Chorus—Hurrah, hurrah ! for Southern rights hurrah !
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
As long as the Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers, we were kind and we were just.
But naw when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar,
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star.
First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand ;
Then came Alabaina, who took her by the hand
;
]S"ext quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida,
All rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star
Ye men of valor, gather round the Banner of the Right
Brave Texaz SiU^ Louisiana join us in the fight;
