There's people
live in fear
Of a sickle and
hammer
I was born for
the ensign
Now I wave that
Yankee banner
Pride ain't so
ugly
Hate ain't so
young
And it ain't
so far
This country's
come
But I'm a friend
of the flag
I hope you understand
I'm a pilgrim
on the water
All the way from
England.
The tall ships
sail on through
Into the harbour
Dark skins on
the deck
But the immigrant
He works hard
here
Race ain't a
colour
White ain't the
world
But I still love
My American girl
I'm a friend of
the flag
I hope you understand
I'm a pilgrim
on the water
All the way from
England
And I married
Miss America
And gave her
all I had
I'm a born again
American
A friend of the
flag
And you paid the
price
The day you hunted
buffalo
And you've just
begun to tell us
What the Hopi
told us
Long ago
Peace in the
heart
Shelters your
life
No roof over
doubt
When the spirit
flies
I'm a friend of
the flag
I hope you understand
I'm a pilgrim
on the water
All the way from
England
And I married
Miss America
And gave her
all I had
I'm a born again
American
A friend of the
flag
Hold on, sail
on
Friend of the
flag
Hold on, sail
on
Friend of the
flag
