    United States, your banner wears
    Two emblems--one of fame;
    Alas! the other that it bears
    Reminds us of your shame.
    Your banner's constellation types
    White freedom with its stars,
    But what's the meaning of the stripes?
    They mean your negroes' scars.

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen stall stand

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen stall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just.
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Fling out, fling out, with cheer and shout,
To all the winds of Our Country's Banner!

Displayed in full and glorious manner!

Blow, zephyrs, sweetly mournful, sighing, sighing, sighing!
