Lyrics
(Melody by John Philip Sousa, Lyrics by Charles Burr)
Three cheers for the red, white and blue,
For the red is the blood of our brothers.
The white is the light of the star
That has led us to where we are.
The blue is the hue of the sky
Where on high the Almighty falters never.
Our banner for two hundred years!
Oh pioneers! Here’s to the stars and stripes forever!
