Lyrics of Dear Old Flag by Vince Gill
verse
For the dear old flag I die
Said the wounded drummer boy
Mother, press your lips to mine
Oh, they bring me peace and joy
verse
'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
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
Do not mourn, my mother, dear
Every pang will soon be over
For I hear the angel band
Calling from their starry shore
verse
Now I see their banners wave
In the light of perfect day
Though it is hard to part with you
Yet I would not wish to stay
chorus
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
bridge
Farewell, mother, death's cold hand
Weighs upon my spirit now
And I feel his blighting breath
Fan my pallid cheek and brow
verse
Closer, closer to your heart
Let me feel that you are by
While my sight is growing dim
For the dear old flag I die
chorus
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
For the honor of our land
And the dear old flag I die
