That land; we will defend her,
While floats our flag on high;
Our motto is, “Never surrender,”
Fight till we conquer or die. [Chorus.
That star-sprent flag once covered
Our Washington, the blest;
That eagle victorious has hovered
Long o’er our bravest and best. [Chorus.
And know, there’s One who never
Bids a good cause go down;
