CHORUS
Oh! say, does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Star-Spangled Banner. "To Anacreon in heaven, where he sat in full glee, / A few Sons of Harmony sent a petition, \ That he their inspirer and patron would be." Ralph Tomlinson—To Anacreon in Heaven. Music by John Stafford Smith. Tune of The Star-Spangled Banner (between 1770 and 1775) to which F. S. Key set his words.
