Lyrics

My name is William Carney
Sargent U.S. Army and, boys,
The Old Flag never
Touched the ground

One hand to staunch the bleeding
One for this flag of freedom
And, boys,
I’ll trust these colors to you now

White beach blue and red
With Massachusetts’ dead
The Old Flag never
Touched the ground

One hundred years from now
She’ll still be flying proud
Proud of every inch we gain
No sacrifice in vain

When this flag is raised
May children stand and praise out loud
The Old Flag never touched the ground
Never touch the ground
