Ralph T. Butler

Vot vos you up to, Uncle Sam, Alretty, anyhow? Dot you vos magen droubles For dose Fillopenos now, Ven I leaf der distant Vaterland, Katrina, Frau and me, Und sailt upon dot shteamship boat Across der schloppy sea. Ve dought dot you a goot one vos, Und vanted all men free. Shall our Starry Flag of Freedom Be a badge for serf or slave? Shall it head the grand procession in a "Criminal aggression" And there for greed and conquest wave? No, no, no! Ten thousand answer, No! It must ever be the Flag of the Free, The Flag of the Free and the Brave!
