Dear Old Flag

[00:11.72] For the dear old flag I die
[00:16.82] Said the wounded drummer boy
[00:21.93] Mother, press your lips to mine
[00:26.88] Oh, they bring me peace and joy
[00:31.53] 'Tis the last time on earth
[00:36.50] I shall ever see your face
[00:41.52] Mother, take me to your heart
[00:46.53] Let me die in your embrace
[00:52.48] For the dear old flag I die
[00:56.77] Mother, dry your weeping eye
[01:01.45] For the honor of our land
[01:06.39] And the dear old flag I die
[01:11.23]
[01:16.24] Do not mourn, my mother, dear
[01:21.38] Every pang will soon be over
[01:25.96] For I hear the angel band
[01:30.85] Calling from their starry shore
[01:35.63] Now I see their banners wave
[01:40.45] In the light of perfect day
[01:45.34] Though it is hard to part with you
[01:50.00] Yet I would not wish to stay
[01:56.26] For the dear old flag I die
[02:00.67] Mother, dry your weeping eye
[02:05.31] For the honor of our land
[02:10.28] And the dear old flag I die
[02:15.21]
[02:36.05] Farewell, mother, death's cold hand
[02:41.41] Weighs upon my spirit now
[02:46.63] And I feel his blighting breath
[02:51.31] Fan my pallid cheek and brow
[02:56.47] Closer, closer to your heart
[03:01.39] Let me feel that you are by
[03:06.19] While my sight is growing dim
[03:11.39] For the dear old flag I die
[03:16.92] For the dear old flag I die
[03:21.43] Mother, dry your weeping eye
[03:26.38] For the honor of our land
[03:31.25] And the dear old flag I die
[03:36.74] For the honor of our land
[03:42.10] And the dear old flag I die
[03:47.09]
