[Verse 1]
For the dear old flag I die
Said the wounded drummer boy
Mother, press your lips to mine
O, they bring me peace and joy
'Tis the last time on earth
I shall ever see your face
Mother take me to your heart
Let me die in your embrace
[Chorus 1]
For the dear old flag I die
Mother, dry your weeping eye
For the honor of our land
And the dear old Flag I die
[Verse 2]
Do not mourn, my mother, dear
Every pang will soon be o'er
For I hear the angel band
Calling from their starry shore
Now I see their banners wave
In the light of perfect day
Though 'tis hard to part with you
Yet I would not wish to stay
For the dear old flag I die
Said the wounded drummer boy
Mother, press your lips to mine
O, they bring me peace and joy
'Tis the last time on earth
I shall ever see your face
Mother take me to your heart
Let me die in your embrace
[Chorus 1]
For the dear old flag I die
Mother, dry your weeping eye
For the honor of our land
And the dear old Flag I die
[Verse 2]
Do not mourn, my mother, dear
Every pang will soon be o'er
For I hear the angel band
Calling from their starry shore
Now I see their banners wave
In the light of perfect day
Though 'tis hard to part with you
Yet I would not wish to stay
