187. Hurrah for the Red, White, and Blue

1 I know three little sisters,
I think you know them, too,
for one is read, and one is white,
And the other one is blue.

Chorus:
Hurrah for these three little sisters!
Hurrah for the red, white and blue!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurrah for the red, white and blue!

2 I know three little lessons
These little sisters tell,
the first is Love, then Purity,
And Truth we love so well [Chorus]
