Picture
You're a Grand Old Flag by George M. Cohan

You're a grand old flag,You're a high-flying flag,
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land I love, The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true'Neath the Red, White and Blue, 
Where there's never a boast or brag.
But should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
