Verse
O Columbia the gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriot's devotion
A world offers homage to thee
Thy mandates make heros assemble
When liberty's form stands in view,
Thy Banners make tyranny tremble
When borne by the red white and blue

Chorus
When borne by the red white and blue,
When borne by the red white and blue
Thy Banners make tyranny tremble;
When borne by the red white and blue.

Verse
When war winged its wide desolation,
And threatn'd the land to deform,
The ark then of freedoms foundation
Columbia rode safe through the storm;
With her garlands of vict'ry around her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floting before her,
The boast of the red white and blue.

Verse
The wine cup the wine cup bring hither,
And fill you it true to the brim,
May the wreath's they have won never wither
Nor the star of their glory grow dim,
May the service united ne'er sever
But they to their colour's prove true,
The Army and Navy for ever,
Three cheer's for the red white and blue.
