And here's to brave Virginia! the Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy at length has link'd her fate;
Impell'd by her example, now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star!

E (022100@1)     B7 (x21202@1)     A (x02220@1)                 EHurrah! (022100@1)Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah!

And here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old, we'll fight our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

E (022100@1)     B7 (x21202@1)     A (x02220@1)                 EHurrah! (022100@1)Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah!

Then cheer boys, cheer, and raise the joyous shout;
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be giv'n,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven

E (022100@1)     B7 (x21202@1)     A (x02220@1)                 EHurrah! (022100@1)Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah!
    E (022100@1)         A (x02220@1)                   B7 (x21202@1)           EHurrah! (022100@1)for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star!
