 To build a flag in our own right, The Stars and Stripes of liberty. Fair Betsy Ross of Flag House fame, True daughter of a revolution, Who made first emblem of the free, The standard of a new born nation. The emblem of the peoples might, To lead the sons of founders true, A flag to guide the patriots, From a confederate point of view. Each star a State in her own right, The heritage of men born free, Each stripe a warning "to beware," The blood bought rights of victory.
