Lyrics

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 Tall ships sail on through into the harbor Dark skins on the deck But the immigrant, he works hard here Race ain't a color 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 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 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 I'm a born again American A friend of the flag I'm a born again American A friend of the flag Hold on, sail on A friend of the flag Hold on, sail on A friend of the flag Hold on, sail on Everybody's a friend of the flag Hold on, sail on Hold on, sail on Hold on, sail on Hold on, sail on
