They’ll garland their banner with glory,
In fight ’neath the Flag of the Brave!
As long as a sail dots the ocean,
Or sea-breezes blow o’er the deep,
As long as the earth keeps in motion,
Or stars their lone vigils shall keep—
So long shall Columbia’s brave seamen
Be monarchs upon the salt wave:
Three cheers for the valor of Freemen!
Three cheers for the Flag of the Brave!
