SOUTHERN PATRIOTIC SONGS.
"fis joy to be a Hanger ! to light lor dear Southland !
'Tis joy to follow WnAiiTON, with his gallant, trusty baud !
'Tis joy to see our Harrison plunge like a meteor bright
Into the thickest of the fray, and deal his deathly might.,
О
! who’il not lie a Ranger, and follow Wharton’s cry !
And battle for their country, and, if needs be, die !
By the Colorado’s waters, on the Half’s deep lvmrm’ring shore.
On our soft, green, peaceful prairies, are homes we may see no
more ; [hairs.
But in those homes out gentle wives, and mothers with silvery
Are loving us with tender hearts, and shielding us with prayers.
So trusting in our Country’s God, we drawonr stout good brand,
For those we love at home — our altars, and our land
Up ! up I 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 aud native laud, 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
ВОЛШЕ
BLUE FLAG.
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 tiie Union was faithful to her trust,
Like friends and like brothers, we were kind and we were just.
But n >w when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar.
We hoist on high the Bonnie Bine Flag that bears a single star.
First gallant South Carolina nobly made tbe stand ;
Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand ;
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida,
All rais’d on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star I
Ye men of valor, gather round the Banner of tbe Right !
Brave Texas and Louisiana join us in the fight ;
