《Ragged Old Flag》歌词

[00:00:00] Ragged Old Flag - Johnny Cash

[00:00:03] I walked through a county courthouse square

[00:00:05] On a park bench an old man was sitting there

[00:00:08] I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down

[00:00:11] He said, naw, it'll do for our little town

[00:00:14] I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit

[00:00:17] And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it

[00:00:20] He said, have a seat, and I sat down

[00:00:22] Is this the first time you've been to our little town?

[00:00:26] I said, I think it is

[00:00:27] He said, I don't like to brag

[00:00:30] But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag

[00:00:37] You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when

[00:00:39] Washington took it across the Delaware

[00:00:41] And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key

[00:00:45] Sat watching it writing say can you see

[00:00:48] And it got a bad rip in New Orleans

[00:00:51] With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams

[00:00:54] And it almost fell at the Alamo

[00:00:56] Beside the texas flag, but she waved on though

[00:00:59] She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville

[00:01:03] And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill

[00:01:03] There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg

[00:01:08] And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag

[00:01:15] On Flanders field in World War one

[00:01:18] She got a big hole from a Bertha gun

[00:01:21] She turned blood red in World War Two

[00:01:23] She hung limp and low a time or two

[00:01:27] She was in Korea and Vietnam

[00:01:31] She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam

[00:01:35] She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam

[00:01:38] And now they've about quit waving her back here at home

[00:01:41] In her own good land here she's been abused

[00:01:44] She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused

[00:01:47] And the government for which she stands

[00:01:49] Is scandalized throughout the land

[00:01:51] And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin

[00:01:54] But she's in good shape for the shape she's in

[00:01:58] 'Cause she's been through the fire before

[00:02:00] And I believe she can take a whole lot more

[00:02:02] So we raise her up every morning

[00:02:05] We take her down every night

[00:02:06] We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right

[00:02:09] On second thought, I do like to brag

[00:02:13] 'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag
