Johnny Wright - Keep The Flag Flying

〈Intro〉
Keep the flag flying, please do this for me

〈Verse 1〉
On a battlefield, in another land
Across the sea
My best pal and I were on patrol
Looking for the enemy
Then I heard the sound of the sniper shot
That took him away
Just before he died, kneeling by his side
I heard him say

〈Chorus〉
Keep the flag flying
Keep the young children smiling
Tell them how lucky they are to be free
Keep the flag flying
Keep freedom from dying
Keep the flag flying, please do this for me

〈Spoken Over Chorus〉
Now this battlefield is a lonesomе place since he's gonе
Though there's other boys walking by my side I still feel all alone
I'll have to write a sad note tonight, and I'll sign it differently
I'll have to say "From your own living son" instead of "Brother and me"
〈Outro〉
Keep the flag flying, please do this for me
