Friend Of The Flag Lyrics

Friend Of The Flag lyrics

There's people live in fear

 Of a sickle and hammer

 I was born for the ensign

 Now I wave that Yankee banner

 Pride ain't so ugly

 Hate ain't so young

 And it ain't so far

 This country's come

 

 But I'm a friend of the flag

 I hope you understand

 I'm a pilgrim on the water

 All the way from

 England.

 

 The tall ships sail on through

 Into the harbour

 Dark skins on the deck

 But the immigrant

 He works hard here

 Race ain't a colour

 White ain't the world

 But I still love

 My American girl

 

 I'm a friend of the flag

 I hope you understand

 I'm a pilgrim on the water

 All the way from

 England

 And I married Miss America

 And gave her all I had

 I'm a born again American

 A friend of the flag

 

 And you paid the price

 The day you hunted buffalo

 And you've just begun to tell us

 What the Hopi told us

 Long ago

 Peace in the heart

 Shelters your life

 No roof over doubt

 When the spirit flies

 

 I'm a friend of the flag

 I hope you understand

 I'm a pilgrim on the water

 All the way from

 England

 And I married Miss America

 And gave her all I had

 I'm a born again American

 A friend of the flag

 

 Hold on, sail on

 Friend of the flag

 Hold on, sail on

 Friend of the flag
