Lyrics

If to mor row all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,

and I had to start a gain with just my chil dren and my wife.

I’d thank my luck y stars

’cause the flag still stands for free dom and they can’t take that a way.

And I’m proud to be an A mer i can where at least I know I’m free.

And I won’t for get the men who died, who gave that right to me.

And I’d glad ly stand up next to you and de fend her still to day.

’Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land

God bless the U.
