“Said Washington to Betsy Ross, "A flag our nation needs To lead our valiant soldiers on to high and noble deeds Now can you make one for us, to which she made reply, "I am not certain if I can; At least I'll gladly try." Chorus: So she took some red for the blood they shed Some white for purity, Some stars so bright from the sky overhead Some blue for loyalty, And sewed them all together, For loyal hearts and true, And hand in hand as one we stand For the red, the white and the blue. Said Betsy Ross to Washington, "Your country's flag behold!" And through his tear-dimmed eyes he saw the stars and stripes unfold. Then to his breast he clasped it, and looked to heaven above. "Oh may it ever stand," he cried, "For rights and truth and love."”
